I was 16 and lived a couple of blocks from my high school. I was at home eating lunch when the announcement was made on TV. I remember it like the Kennedy assassination.
I also remember both Grissom's Mercury mission and White's Gemini mission. I don't remember Grisson's Gemini mission, but do remember speculation of it giving him a chance to redeem himself after losing his Mercury capsule.
Rest in Peace, pioneers!
