Virginian-Pilot  December 18, 2000
NORFOLK - Henry Lewis Kingsbury Jr., 77, of the 1700 block of Ashland Ave., died 
Dec. 14, 2000, at his home.

Born in Bath, Maine, he was the son of the late Henry Lewis Kingsbury Sr. and

graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering. He received a Masters of Civil

Mr. Kingsbury returned to Norfolk with his young family in 1952 and was employed 
by the U.S. Navy as a civil engineer. He was instrumental in the building of

became the head of the Atlantic Division Naval Facilities Engineering Command and 
retired after 30 years of service with the highest esteem and respect of his 
colleagues.

Known as "Skeeter" to his family members and many of his friends, he was an avid 
fisherman and golfer and a longtime member of Bide-A-Wee Golf Club. He was a 
member of Christ the King Catholic Church where he contributed many years of 
active service, and was a member of the Holy Name Society.
