Yet another household name exits the stage.
Must be getting old.
Condolences to all who were close to him. R.I.P. John Glenn.
Commiserations to others who watched from a distance, like me.

Very sad but he had fulfilled a great deal during his lifetime and left a legacy of achievements that will go down in history.
