Harry was a great influence in my life and career. He was a great physician and leader

I was fortunate to have worked with Dr. Kingston as an operating room nurse at OHSU. His wonderful sense of humor, dedication to his patients and his peers all made it a great day when working with him. Patients and the residents were all fortunate to have him at their side and the department turned out many skilled residents during his tenure as head of the department. Thank you, Dr. Kingston. You made a difference every day in every way. It was an honor to have worked with you.

Harry was a wonderful mentor . His ability to quickly size up a situation and his wicked sense of humor were characteristics that I will always remember. My condolences to you, Lynn, are heart felt. Angela Kendrick, MD

Dr. Kingston was Chairman of Anesthesia during my training at OHSU. He was one of the best teachers I have ever had. I became a Pediatric Anesthesiologist, I am sure partly from his influence. What a gift he gave all of us!

Condolences from Heike and Rainer to Lynn and the family. Harry was an awesome teacher, great mentor and wonderful friend for the last 20+ years. We shared many wonderful moments and we all enjoyed his witty humor. He will be missed. He is a true inspiration of how to live a life fully.

Condolences from the Peterson family to Lynn and her family. I spent many years learning from Lynn and seeing Harry at Moss Adams functions. Such a wonderful conversationalist and always supportive of Lynn's aspirations. He had a well-lived life. I'm know he'll be missed.

My condolences to Lynn and Dr. Kingston's family. I met him at the tail end of his career at OHSU but appreciate all his wisdom and mentorship. His photographs were stunning and I loved hearing about all the trips he took with his grandchildren. It's clear he lived a full life and will be missed!

Colleague for 20 years, friend for over 30 years, Dr Kingston was conscientious, witty, multitalented and compassionate. We will miss you, Harry!
