George Leader (D - PA) served as Governor from 1955-1959. As of 2005, he was the earliest serving U.S. Governor that was still living. He died today at the age of 95.

Wiki says Mike Stepovich, Governor of Alaska 1957-58.  Raul Castro of Arizona is the oldest living former Governor, however, at 97.

That's two former governors we've lost in a week.  First Otis Bowen, and now George Leader.

But he was only a territorial governor, right?
