Upon returning home from the War,
Dewey completed his apprenticeship at the shipyard prior to enrolling at VPI
under the GI Bill. Graduating from VPI, in 1952, with a Mechanical Engineering
Degree, he returned to Newport News Shipbuilding, where his career extended

I extend heartfelt
sympathy to the Stinson family.
Dewey was not only a good friend but he was one of my most trusted and talented apprentices. When he was attending VPI I would always save a job for him in the Boiler Shop during the summer. Neil Woodall ~ Neil Woodall, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas January 10, 2012
My sympathies to the
Stinson Family. Dewey worked with my father Jim Stewart at the
Shipyard and always had great respect for him. ~ Jo Ann Stewart, Oakton, Virginia January 10, 2012
I extend my heartfelt sympathy to the Stinson family, Dewey
will be greatly missed at The Mennowood. He always had a
smile for everyone and knew how to make you laugh.

at this time. January 10, 2012

Dewey Stinson obit.":
| Hello Carol, Tue. Feb. 10,
2012 Dewey Stinson's obit. appears in today's Daily Press. He was an honor student in the NNHS February Class of 1943 and a two-year letterman playing guard on the football team. My first memory of Dewey is from the early 1930s when we both lived on 30th Street in the East End. Then much later we were classmates at Virginia Tech., both graduating in 1952 In recent years I usually had lunch with Dewey each time I visited Newport News. Nostalgic best wishes, Fred ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Fred W. Field Loma Linda & Fullerton, CA fwfield@juno.com
Thank you so much, Fred; my
sincerest condolences on the
death of your friend. |
Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have
Buckroe!Love to all, Carol

(24 July 1725 – 21 Dec 1807)
Amazing grace! (how sweet
the sound)
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears reliev'd;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believ'd!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call'd me here below,
Will be forever mine.
