Three men associated with the Star Trek franchise have died in the past two weeks.

First it was Joseph Pevney, who directed fourteen episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series, including some of the absolute best ("The City on the Edge of Forever" and "The Trouble with Tribbles").

Then it was Alexander Courage, who composed the iconic theme music for Star Trek: The Original Series.

Now it's Robert H. Justman, who was a producer for both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, and was considered to be creator Gene Roddenberry's right hand man on both shows.
