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.
