William Shatner Calls On Fans To Celebrate Leonard Nimoy's Life On Sunday

Leonard Nimoy's good friend William Shatner was committed to attend a Red Cross charity event in Florida on Saturday night. Unfortunately, Shatner revealed that he won't be able to make it back in time to attend Nimoy's funeral on Sunday.

Shatner wrote, "I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried."

Since he won't be able to make the funeral, Shatner suggested another way to honor his friend. On Twitter, Shatner is encouraging fans to come together on Sunday to celebrate Nimoy's life and remember the man.

I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight. Leonard's funeral is tomorrow. I can't make it back in time.
