William Lee Humphrey, "Lee", 61, of Baltimore, Maryland, formerly of Park Ridge, NJ passed away peacefully Sunday, November 16, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.
A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Lee is survived by his wife, Patricia, "Tish" (nee Duffy); son, William, grandchildren Victoria and Anthony.
Brothers Ronald (Yvette), Keith (Melissa) as well as many nieces and nephews he loved dearly and their now growing families as well.
Lee was predeceased by his parents, Ronald (2024), Victoria (2013), and his son Duffy (1995).
Lee graduated from Park Ridge High School class of 1983. He spent the next 25 years as a landscaper and carpenter.
Lee and Tish lived a life full of adventure and new beginnings. They lived in the Dallas Texas area, Denver Colorado area and most recently Baltimore, Maryland.
Lee was very charitable and resilient. With each new opportunity came the chance to connect with new people, and enjoy the adventure of new places.
Lee loved going to the woodworking and train shows to connect with other enthusiasts.
He loved his grandchildren. He loved his wife. He loved the Lord:
Joshua 1:9, Be strong and be of good courage; do not be afraid or dismayed for the Lord you God is with you wherever you go.
After years of health issues, we remember 1 Corinthians 13:4, "Love suffers long and is kind. v13:8 Love NEVER fails.
Lee was the most loyal type of friend, he would call on a whim, just to check in. He would reminisce all the time about his upbringing and all the fun times in Park Ridge, particularly. He truly cared for the people that made impressions in his life. Lee was a very special man and we will miss him deeply.
Lee will be interred in Westwood cemetery (NJ). There will be no formal funeral or wake. A late luncheon after the internment is to be determined. (details to follow) If you would like to attend the luncheon, please email tishhumphrey@gmail.com
In lieu of flowers, donations in Lee's name to St. Jude's Children's Hospital would be greatly appreciated
