Most of them lived to be fairly old. I believe one died around 1960, but the rest lived on for many years. Colonel Tibbetts, the pilot, died just four of five years ago. Several of them died of cancer, whether partially due to radiation exposure no one will ever know. I have never heard that Ferrebee, the bombardier who actually released the bomb, has died. Last I knew he was living in Florida.
Tibbett's recorded an interview several years before his death. The interviewer asked how he felt about having dropped the bomb. He replied "I never lost a minute's sleep over it."

The plane had not yet been named until the day of the bombing, as Tibbets named all planes he piloted Enola Gay (his mother's name) he had that painted on its side.
