David Ewart Howard (born 5 March 1918)[1] is a Canadian retired sailor who competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics.[2] He competed in the dragon event on a team with his brother Cliff Howard and Donald Tytler. Howard served in World War II with the Royal Canadian Navy, reaching the rank of lieutenant.[3][4] As of 27 July 2021, the centenarian is the second-oldest living Olympian, aged 103.[5] Uruguayan Félix Sienra, who is coincidentally also a former sailor, is the oldest living Olympian, aged 105.
