Not sure what to say?

I am deeply saddened to learn of Jack's passing. I met Jack in the mid 70's, racing with him at Vallejo Speedway. Truly a great guy; He would be the first one to help you out with a part or any other assistance you might need, and then go out and race you hard!! We were neighbors for awhile in Vallejo, then kind of went different directions. However, he has remained on my Christmas card list all this time! Our paths crossed again a few years back in Roseville at All American Speedway, and he...

I met jack back in the 99 dollar claimer day's. he would give you that big grin and would be the first to be there if you needed any part's or help. He was a true racer there are not many like him left He will be truly missed.

To Jack I light this candle in fond memory.

Sorry to hear about Jack's passing. My friendship with Jack started back at Vallejo Speedway in the 70's. I know the racing world will miss his badly. My heart goes out to the family, but knowing he will join many great racers from the pass. God Bless Jack. Bonnie Chisholm

Jack and some of his boys at Stockton 99 Speedway.

I first met Jack Wulff Humphrey in 2005 when my son Keith and I joined the Legends of the Pacific racing organization. One of the things that I really enjoyed about racing with these folks is that they were easy to get to know, they would help anyone who had problems during a race, and they were generous to a fault with parts and advice. The person that most embodied that spirit was Jack Humphrey. He would loan parts and offer advice whenever he was asked. As an older racer who had taken...

I will always remember Jack as being the big guy on the football field, always trying for the perfect tackle. I wished I could have seen the big guy crawl through that little race car window. Jack had a big heart for everyone. May Susie and the rest of Jack's family remember him with love and that he is now at peace.

Unofficially representing the class of 1966 Ron and I offer our heartfelt condolences to Susie and Jack's loving family. We are in the process of planning the class reunion for 1965 and 1966 and had hoped, against all odds, that Jack could join us this year. We all have fond memories of our semi-innocent youth and our adults struggles and heartaches. We wish Jack Fair Winds and Following Seas in his next journey.

With Jack's passing, another legend will live on. His legacy dates back to UL High when he became known for his infamous "Humphrey Crush" carries as the Cougars moved inside the red zone and he was moved from his front line spot. He was virtually unstoppable. Jack transferred that competitive reputation to the race car track. He was a great, fun guy and will be sorely missed.
