I was concerned when they said he had gone into the hospital recently at his age as it almost always means something is close at hand. He was the last of the Mercury 7. I remember the very big deal when he orbited the earth back in 1962 as an 8 year old living in Maryland. I was heavily into astronomy at that point in my life and would spend hours late at night in the back yard watching the stars with my binoculars to spot satellites after JFK spoke of going to the moon.
