Obituary

STOW- David John Humphreys, 82, of Stow, NY and formerly of Pittsburgh, PA, died Wednesday, June 26, 2019 at his home in Stow, NY.  He was born May 21, 1937 in Pittsburgh, PA, the son of the late Harry W. and Helen Davidson Humphreys. He retired to his Chautauqua Lake home in 2011.

He was a graduate of Yale University and Dickinson Law School and practiced law in Pittsburgh from 1963 until 2011. Additionally, he was President of Sports Management and Marketing, representing track and field athletes including Olympic Medalist Roger Kingdom. He served as Treasurer for the Community Music Project, Jamestown Concert Association Board member, Pittsburgh Marathon Board member, Pittsburgh Road Runners member, Republican State Committee member, Mt Lebanon PA Commissioner from 2001-2009 and North Harmony Zoning Board member.

Music, gardening and family were his life-long passions. He ran the Boston Marathon and many triathlons. An insatiable curiosity found him an avid reader. Beekeeping, sailing the lake and painting were some of his many hobbies; his latest was playing and studying the game GO with people across the world.

He is survived by his wife; Lori Nagle Humphreys, whom he married June 16, 1962 in New Haven, CT, three daughters; Helen V. Humphreys of VA, Stephanie (Kevin Lucas) Humphreys of Austin, TX, and Evelyn (John) O'Keeffe of St. Paul, MN, one son; David John Humphreys Jr. of Los Angeles, CA, and nine grandchildren. Dave was preceded in death by his parents, a daughter; Anne Humphreys, and four siblings.
