Wonder if his coffin was lined with rich Corinthian leather?

One of the best all-time Trek villians. I know Ricardo had been sick for some time, confined to a wheelchair, but still continued to work. He always seemed like such a gentleman during interviews. I don't know if I'd call him a giant, but I would say he broke some racial barriers for Latin actors during a time when there was a lot of racial tensions. I don't know if I would miss him, but whenever I watch Star Trek, I will watch Ricardo as Khan with a little more reverence. He will always be my favourite Trek villian. RIP.
