Obituary of George A. Humphreys

George Allan Humphreys of San Diego, CA, passed away at the age of 81.

Born in Boston, raised in Cohasset, MA, George had a deep love of the sea and sailing since childhood.

 

He leaves his beloved wife of thirty years, Linda, and daughter, Adrienne Humphreys and son-in-law Geoffrey Greenwood of Chula Vista, CA, sister Mary Klein Steele of WA, sisters Kate Mullen and Lilly Hazard of MA, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased in death by his father and mother, Joseph and Eleanor, sister Ellie, and brothers Stevie and Charlie Humphreys.

 

George was very adventurous - from taking epic motorcycle journeys with his family, sailing his Cal 74 to Hawaii to climbing Mt. Rainer. He and wife Linda traveled the world together, skied every mountain and dove most of the great reefs of the world. He was an avid member of San Diego Tennis and Racquet Club since the seventies where he enjoyed tennis and bridge games as well as the many friendships within that club. George loved life! 

 

George received a (BSEE) in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University, studied Finance at Boston College, receiving an MBA. He was Captain in the US Army stationed in Germany. Early in his career, he was owner/director of Hidden Valley Bank of Escondido, later becoming part of Bank of America. He also was the owner/co-founder of Trendsetter Realty Escondido. Later he became a licensed Captain and owner of MALIHINI Sportfishing at H&M Landing (60 passengers, 6-man crew including Linda) fishing off the waters of Coronado Islands, Mexico. He concluded his career as a real estate broker at Prudential in La Jolla and Jelly Properties, Del Mar.

 

Friends and family loved and admired George’s kind heart, wonderful sense of humor, great mind, extensive knowledge and passion for life. He was a genuine and honest man and spent his final weeks walking the beaches of Torrey Pines with his daughter.

 

“George was a kind and generous soul. Being a good man seemed to be his goal. He is loved by so many, every Tom Dick and Denny. Add our names to that roll.”
