Born in Crisfield on Oct. 4, 2008, he was a son of the late Edward "Bunny" and Lola Wharton Humphreys. He worked many years with his father-in-law, the late John Goldsborough, at Goldsborough's Grocery in Crisfield until their closing. He also owned and operated the former Ye Olde Snack Shop in Crisfield for more than 10 years and retired in 1997 from Eastern Correctional Institution in Westover where he was a dietary officer. A faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Crisfield, he served as Deacon and Trustee at various times and was instrumental in starting the Community Thanksgiving Dinner, which has served people in need for the past 30 years. He was also a member of the former Crisfield Company L, 115th Infantry Army National Guard.
