Second-Oldest Pearl Harbor Survivor, Jim Downing, Dies at 104

The Gazette (Colorado Springs, Colo.) 15 Feb 2018 By TOM ROEDER

At 104, Pearl Harbor survivor Navy Lt. Jim Downing was a confidant of presidents and a star of national television.

From talk shows to a profile in Time magazine, Downing was feted as the second-oldest man who endured the events of Dec. 7, 1941. But Downing, who died from complications after surgery Tuesday, loved talking with school kids the most.
