Edward Eugene Humphreys, 75, of McKeesport, died January 23, 2017, with his sister by his side. She was there for him when he needed her, and was his best friend. Beloved son of the late Edward R. and Isabelle C. McBride Humphreys, their first born. They were truly blessed to have a wonderful son. He was their life, and he gave them nothing but happiness. His life was fulfilled with the love that he got from his parents. He was a kind hearted person and everyone loved him. He always had a joke to tell to make someone smile or laugh. He loved playing the guitar and going to the park. He worked for Francis McBride Wall Coverings as a wall paper hanger, and served in the U.S. Navy. He had a heart of gold and a wonderful soul, and a kind, loving, and sweet spirit. With his laugh and his smile, he helped ease the pain and suffering of many.
