I'll always remember and cherish the time I spent with my Grandpa. Laying on the living room floor playing games as a kid while he watched his races. Watching his Court TV and and Game Shows with him. All the drives we shared, be it just going to school or going to see Mount Rushmore. Sitting for hours listening to stories of all the jobs he'd had, and all the interesting things he'd seen or done. He was such a kind-hearted and amazing person, and the world is less without him in it.

To me he was Grandpa, the kindest most wonderful person i ever knew. I have many fond memories that i will cherish forever. I loved are morning chats in the van when he would give me rides to work, he was always there when i needed him. Im so glad he took me along on many of his travels i enjoyed every second spent with him.

I didn't know Carl too long, but I do know at least one good thing he did was to raise a great daughter, Mary K. He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to all.

I was saddened to read of Mr. Humphrey's passing. I was fortunate to be one of his students for both biology and human anatomy / physiology at Central High School in the late 1960's and I learned a great deal from him. He always made his classes interesting and enjoyable. May he rest in peace and may the world have more teachers like him.

Whenever we were around Carl, he was always seeing to the needs/wants of those around him before his own... what an example! I'm so sad that we never got to Arizona like he begged us. I'm happy though, that we will visit again one day in the presence of Jesus.
