William Shatner<\/strong> defended his decision to fulfill his commitment to the Red Cross<\/em> this weekend, which meant he missed Leonard Nimoy<\/strong>‘s funeral on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Reporters caught up with Shatner at his home after he returned to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

“My understanding is ‘mourn the dead, but celebrate life,'” said Shatner. “I chose to celebrate life by going to Red Cross<\/em> gathering in Palm Beach; raised a lot of money for the Red Cross<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Howard Stern<\/strong> defended Shatner. “You’re going to criticize a guy who held up his commitment to the Red Cross<\/em>? And then we’re going to judge how much he loved Leonard Nimoy?”<\/p>\n

At the Red Cross<\/em> event, Shatner, after asking for a moment of silence, told the assembled group that “I lost a friend of mine, Leonard Nimoy. He’ll never be forgotten.”<\/p>\n

“I asked over a thousand people to remember Leonard Nimoy,” said Shatner. “Take a moment to remember then, but also remember them by doing good deeds. And good deeds will be remembered long after any other kind of memorial.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
