KINGSBURY, FREDERICK JOHN, IV

Frederick John Kingsbury, loving husband of Elizabeth (Betty) Kingsbury, died unexpectedly on Friday, October 7th. He was born on May 20th, 1927 in Fredericksburg, VA, the son of the late Frederick John Kingsbury, Jr. and Julia McKinney Kingsbury. He is survived by his adoring children, daughter, Libby Kingsbury, son, John Kingsbury and his daughter-in-law, Kitty Kingsbury, of Guilford, as well as his two beloved granddaughters, Holly and Lydia Kingsbury of Denver, CO. He leaves a brother, Lawrence Kingsbury of Chatham, MA, a dear sister-in-law, Kasha Kingsbury of Guilford and their daughters, Jennifer Bogosian and Suzanne Kingsbury. He also leaves a cherished nephew and niece, Thomas Crocker and Kim McVay. He was predeceased by two sisters, Julie Crocker of Guilford, and Patricia Whiffen of Clinton.

He grew up in Hamden, CT, and spent his summers in Sachem's Head with his family until making it his home in 1952. He graduated from Exeter Academy and went on to Yale University, ultimately graduating with a doctorate in electrical engineering. During his time at Yale, he rowed for the 1948 U.S. Olympic Team in London, England as part of a four-man crew and brought home a bronze medal. He accepted a position at the Naval Underwater Sound Laboratory (which later became the Naval Underwater Systems Center) in New London after graduation and remained there, happy in his work, until his retirement at age 65 as the department head of Sonar Technology. He served tirelessly on both the Planning and Zoning Commission of Guilford and the Planning and Zoning Committee of the Sachem's Head Association. He was an expert sailor and loved being on the water with family and friends. John and Betty, married almost sixty years, loved being with their family, and vacationing in Maine and Florida.
