RIP Gene.

Does anyone know how many are left who walked on the Moon?

There were 12, half are gone.

Pretty sure he was the last and (for me the first) to see walk on the Moon. He was also the one I watched on ABC when Columbia launched in '81. RIP. :(

Who was the last man to stand on the moon? Gene Cernan. Gone now. God speed. Han

Quite sure he meant to sign it Hanx, which is his call sign on Twitter.

The remaining men who have walked on the moon are Buzz Aldrin (age 86), Alan Bean (age 83), David Scott (age 83), John W. Young (age 85), Charles Duke (age 80), Eugene Cernan (age 81) and Harrison Schmitt (age 80.) Every living person to walk on the moon is past the average American life expectancy of 79 years.
