HUMPHREYS ARTHUR JAMES Upper St. Clair, PA : Went to be with his Lord and Savior on August 27, 2018 with his family by his bedside. He was preceded in death by his wife of 53 years, Marion Stuart Humphreys; his parents, Dr. and Mrs. John L. Humphreys; and his brother, Robert N. Humphreys. He is survived by his three beloved daughters and their families, Ann (Harry) Smeltzer and son, Joe of Findlay Township, PA, Betsy (Bill) Stewart and their children, Ryan (Maureen), Erin, Bradley, and Jeff of Cary, NC, and Lynn Humphreys (Jack Broadbent) and her son, Bowman of Alameda, CA. He is also survived by his partner, Sandra Nicklas of Upper St. Clair; brother, Dr. John L. Humphreys Jr. of Atlanta, GA, and many loving nieces and nephews. Art was born on March 4, 1937 and raised in Mt. Lebanon, PA. After graduating from Mt. Lebanon High School, he attended the College of Wooster (OH) where he met his wife, Marion. Following Wooster, he earned his M.B.A. at The Wharton School of University of Pennsylvania. He made his career in accounting and finance, starting with Procter & Gamble in Quincy, MA and Cincinnati, OH, then the Tappan Company in Mansfield, OH, and finally at Mobay Corporation, which became Bayer Corporation, in Pittsburgh. He retired in 2001, and enjoyed his membership in the Bayer 25 Year Club. Art had a life-long love of church, music, sports, and family. He served as an Elder in several congregations and most recently enjoyed singing in the choir at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. Music was an important part of his life, instilled in him by his mother at an early age. This included playing piano, being a 15 year member of the Bayer choir, and attending the River City Brass concerts for the past thirty years. Art had a passion for sports. He was a member of his high school basketball team as well as his college golf team. He enjoyed playing golf his entire life. He was a consummate Pittsburgh sports fan at all levels from the Steelers, Pirates, and Pens to Pitt/Duquesne. Most important to him, though, were high school sports. Besides attending local area high school events, he also participated in broadcasting these games. Ultimately, family was his top priority. He enjoyed traveling coast to coast to attend his grandchildren's events and he loved family gatherings, particularly on 4th of July at the family cottage on Lake Erie at Van Buren Point, NY. As someone who had many friends, Art lived by this motto - "You'll find that the world is a small place
if you just take the time to talk with people". He will be missed by all! The family will greet friends from 1 - 4 and 6 - 9 p.m., on Thursday, August 30, 2018 at BEINHAUER FUNERAL HOME, 2828 Washington Road, McMurray PA.724-941-3211. Everyone please meet for a Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 AM Friday August 31th at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2040 Washington Road, Upper St. Clair PA.
