Charles Richard Dick Humphreys

Charles Richard “Dick” Humphreys (b. December 15, 1933) lived a life of public service. A career Air Force officer who retired at the rank of major, he later continued serving communities in Florida — including work as a child-abuse investigator and earlier experience as a police chief. Those roles reflect a throughline in his life: a commitment to protecting others and supporting systems that help vulnerable people.

By the late 1980s Humphreys was known in the region as a steady, capable professional who brought decades of law‑enforcement and military experience to his civilian work. Colleagues and public records identify him with duties that required discretion, judgment, and a willingness to carry responsibility for others’ safety. Community and official notices place him in Crystal River and Marion County, Florida, during his later years.

Outside the public record there are few widely published personal details available online about his family life, hobbies, or private interests. What is clear from reliable sources is that he was 56 years old when he died on September 12, 1990, and that his life included long service to country and community. He is buried in Florida National Cemetery, a resting place for many who served in uniform, which acknowledges his military service and final honors.

Though the circumstances of his death are part of public legal records, remembering Charles Richard “Dick” Humphreys means acknowledging the continuity of a life shaped by duty: military service, law enforcement leadership, and work on behalf of vulnerable children. This page honors him as a person who invested years of his adult life in institutions that aim to protect others. The public record may be limited in personal anecdotes, but it points to a life spent in service — a legacy that endures quietly in the communities he served.
