They say a person's legacy can be seen in their children. Only an extrodinary man could have such an extrodinary family. We are saddened with your departure but enriched from having known you.

Mr. Humm,



It was so nice to know you through your daughter Joan. I remember dinner with you at the dining room table and you sitting in your easy chair.



Your accomplishments were exemplary-- a high profile career, three healthy children (including my best friend Joan), and lovely grandchildren.



Your friend, Judy Krusemark Byram
