Did he cut it off while making Transparent aluminum?
Sorry for the serious answer.
He lost it during the D-Day invasion in France during World War II. He was on Juno Beach as he was in the Canadian army. If I recall correctly he was shot 6 times, but survived. One very tough man.
I got to meet him back in the eighties, when I was a teenager. He was a truly wonderful person and his death in 2005 made the world a lesser place.
Four rounds hit his leg, one passed through his right middle finger and one hit him in the chest, deflecting off the lucky cigarette case given to him by his brother
Shot 6 times by friendly fire no less!
I can definitely attest they he survived; he was in Star Trek, a series filmed after D-Day.
No wonder he didn't want to use the keyboard.
Just another reason to hate that shattering window in Generations. Disrespecting his sacrifice.
