There are some people that seem more like an institution than a real human being. He was one of them.

At least he got to see the universe before he died.

239 CAMERA PULLS BACK TO REVEAL 239
the Ship's Company in full dress uniforms assembled for
ship's burial service. Over the PULLBACK, we HEAR:
KIRK
In accordance with the traditions
of Starfleet and of Article 184
Starfleet Regulations, we are
assembled here today to pay final
respects to our honored dead.
Carol and David are PROMINENTLY FEATURED. David watching
Kirk attentively. So are Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, and Saavik.
Bones stands next to Kirk. Scotty carries his bagpipes.
Saavik wears her hair down.
KIRK
(continuing)
And yet, in the midst of our sorrow
it should be noted that this death
takes place in the shadow of new
life, the sunrise of a new world,
a world that our beloved comrade
gave his own life to protect and
nourish. He did not feel that
sacrifice a vain or empty one --
and we will not debate his profound
wisdom, in these proceedings. Of
my friend, I can only say this, that
of all the souls I have encountered
in my travels, his was the most --
(he falters)
-- human.
He tries to go on, but catches Bones' face: Bones is
streaming tears. Kirk can't go on.
KIRK
(continuing)
Lieutenant Saavik.
RIP Leonard Nimoy/Spock.

Found this online and thought it was pretty cool...
Shatner and Nimoy fortuitously cross paths in another show "Man From U.N.C.L.E." just prior to the start of Star Trek. Also this particular episode was directed by Joe Sargent who would go on to direct the pair in one of Trek's earlier episodes 'The Corbomite Maneuver.'
