Born in Bedford County, Va., he had been a Hampton resident since 1951 and 
retired from the Newport News shipyard in 1981, after 30 years service. Mr. 
Guthrie was a 50 year member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church where he 
had served on many boards and in many capacities, including Senior Trustee of 
the church. He had also served as a Scout Master with Boy Scout Troop 78.
