    RIP John Glenn

    I just read that John Glenn has died at age 95.

    What an exceptional man he was, one of the great role models in life.

    My sincere condolences to his family, friends and co-workers.

    Regards, Rod.

    Tough year for aviation. Bob Hoover died a few weeks ago as well

    He and Neil Armstrong were the rage when I was in elementary school. It's hard to think these old icons are passing away. Fair skies, colonel.

    He did enough for 3 or 4 full lives.

    I remember watching each of those early televised lift offs. I thought it was super when he went back up on the space shuttle.

    A truly amazing man and a great American! I remember all of those early missions. Clear skies John Glenn.
    I may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
