Dewey Kingston Obituary
Dewey served proudly in the U.S.N. Submarine Force on numerous boats for 20 years and was the recipient of countless awards. The last boat he served on was the USS Hartford of which he was a plank owner. Dewey then continued to support the Submarine Force as a military contractor and served worldwide for over 18 years.
Dewey was a devout Catholic and served as a Eucharistic Minister on the boats and in the military parish. His greatest joy was being a dad and "Pop Pop." He was a master carpenter, building anything from houses to grandkids' tree houses and always willing and happy to help others. Dewey was the kindest, loving person who never had a bad word to say about anyone. We will all deeply miss seeing Pop Pop in his workshop or playing his guitar.
Besides his devoted wife Gail, he is survived by his children: Hope Cahoon and her husband Casey, Timothy Kingston and his wife Loni, Amanda Kingston and Eric Kingston; and eight grandchildren: Cole, Cameron, Paige, Noah, Ireland, Chloey, Gabrielle and Ryder.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 8, at St. Patrick Cathedral, 213 Broadway, Norwich. A private Interment with military honors will be in Pennsylvania. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dewey's memory to the Wounded Warrior Project, 4899 Belfort Road, Suite #300, Jacksonville, FL 32256. https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/donate.

One. Of the nicest men I´ve ever had the pleasure to serve with while in the US Navy; his quiet reserve was a calming force during the days underway; Dewey May you rest in peace

Dear Dr. Kingston,
My most sincere condolences to you and your wonderful family. Someone once said to me that at times like this, we can take some solace in the knowledge that Christianity is an Easter faith.

Our deepest condolences from our family to yours. We had the pleasure of hanging out with Mr. Kingston a few times, one night in particular was quite memorial- just thinking about the re-enactment he did of Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler with Tim, makes me laugh! He’ll be missed. Godspeed Dewery
