Like when he had us question the nature of truth.

When he wasn't ashamed to show true wonder in the face of the universe.

(Even if he was creeping out everyone else.)

When he knew his audience.

But was also blissfully unaware when anyone didn't quite share his enthusiasm.

When he threw caution to the wind.

When he stood up for comedy.

When he gave us the gift of his beautiful voice.

(Break for bonus Spock reference.)

And when he just peaced out.
