To the family of Dr. Humphrey: I am so very sorry for your loss. I met him when he was moonlighting in Dickson in 1981, then worked with him at Nashville Memorial and then again at Premier Radiology. He was a wonderful man and a great physician to work with. He always had a kind word for everyone. He will be greatly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. He is now pain free and I hope your beautiful memories of him will see you through this difficult time.
