Another one down . It's just a matter of time before all the Apollo astronauts are gone (we've already lost about half of them). I know McDivitt never made it to the moon, but the only people who have been to another heavily body are Apollo astronauts.
When they shutdown the Apollo program in 1972, I don't think anyone involved really thought they'd all be gone before we made it back to the moon. Today, that's become a very real possibility (especially if it's dependent on SLS )
