This was one of this kindest, generous and witty people I ever met. I had the pleasure of spending many days, months and even years in the Humprhey household as I grew up with Kathy. I will never forget Jim's big bear hugs and warmth, as well as his wonderful attitude and acceptance for all he welcomed into his home. Christmas was always the best in this house as each person took hours to open each gift one at a time, as others got to have it passed around and oogle at it--this was an EVENT not to miss. It was a pleasure to know you and share in a happy part of my life with your family. Kathy, you know my thoughts are with you and your family. Your dad was lucky to be out near you over these past few years.
