From the March 8, 2013, Eastchester (NY) Daily Voice.
This was more of just an announcement without what he remembered about Pearl Harbor. I did further research but couldn't find much about his experience there. But, I did find a lot about what he did after the war. I also had sources saying he died at age 94.
Died March 7, 2013. Born 1918 in New York City. was a dedicated volunteer at the USS Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum ship in New York City. Also was New York State Chairman of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association and often keynote speaker at the annual Pearl Harbor ceremony where he always urged "Remember Pearl Harbor and keep America alert."
He was at the scaled-down Pearl Harbor ceremony in 2012 after Hurricane Sandy, just a few monthsd before his death.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
