The thing I remember most about Patrick Stewart, the man, though, is the things he stood for and the way he went about using his celebrity to aid causes. I remember when numerous celebrities were running around dumping ice water over each other and filming it, Stewart recognized that the most important thing he could do is model the behavior the Ice Bucket Challenge was meant to actually be encouraging, getting out one's checkbook and writing a fat check to fund ALS research.

Here is Sir Patrick Stewart's video, sitting down, writing a check, taking a few cubes of ice out of a bucket and pouring himself a stiff one.
Raising a glass tonight to a real one.
Standing ovation on a life well lived.
