Arthur Humphreys ’50

Art died of heart failure Feb. 3, 2007, at his home in California.

Art graduated from Manlius Military Academy. At Princeton he was a member of Key and Seal, ROTC, and Skeet Club. He graduated with honors in economics.

Four days after graduation he married Susan Wright. Nine months and 13 days later his first-born, our class baby, David Arthur, arrived. This occurred while Art was serving as a forward artillery observer with the 7th Cavalry in Korea. In 1953, he returned to New Jersey, where he worked for Warner-Lambert and American Standard.

In 1960, Art relocated his family to California. After his divorce in 1965, he moved abroad and traveled extensively on his 65-foot ketch, Cayuga II. From its berth in Sausalito, he spent 17 years in real-estate investments.

Art married Marge Kral in 1976. They both loved to travel and did so, almost without pause, for the rest of Art’s life. They lived briefly in Venice, his favorite city, skied in Switzerland, rafted major whitewater rivers and “RV-ed” in Mexico. All this was with his beloved cat, NoName.

Art’s son, Richard, predeceased him in 2001. To Marge; his sons David and Daniel and their families; and Richard’s family, we offer our sincerest sympathy.
