He went in for a heart procedure about a week ago and I feared this was coming.  RIP to a true hero of all mankind.  :'(
4th photo is back in the lander after the historic moonwalk.
In the last photo you can see Neil Armstrong reflected in Buzz Aldrin's visor.

He will always be the first Man to step on the Moon.

He was a great Pilot. When the Moon lander auto system failed he took the controls and got her in.

He was also a quite humble man that said he only was doing his job.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
