"He represented humanity, and it fitted him well," said Kelley’s fellow Trek cast member and longtime friend Leonard Nimoy. "He was a decent, loving, caring partner and will be deeply missed." Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, was quoted on the official Star Trek Web site saying, "He was truly one of the most remarkable and talented men to walk the face of the Earth.
