Edward Warren Muench, who escorted astronaut John Glenn aboard the USS Randolph, died on July 27, 2017. He was 89.
In February 1962, Mr. Muench was the chief master-at-arms aboard the Randolph when it had the role of recovering Mercury astronaut John Glenn and his capsule, Friendship 7, after Glenn's historic trip into space where he became the first American to orbit Earth...

"They loved to make cakes on the ship for every occasion," [his daughter, Justine Muench] said, "and they had made one for Glenn." But when Glenn first arrived on the Randolph — he and the capsule initially were retrieved by the USS Noa and Glenn was brought by helicopter to the Randolph — he wasn't hungry, so the story goes.

The cake was taken below deck, where it didn't last long with the sailors, she said. A few hours later, one of the officers remembered the cake and offered it to Glenn, who decided he would have a piece, which set off a search. "They had to tell him the cake was gone," Justine Muench said. Her father recounted to family members that he was none too happy with the officer who mentioned it or the sailors who ate it.
