Humphrey passed away peacefully following a short stay in hospital.
Born in 1938, was a teacher by profession and, after working at a school in Liverpool, came to Llangollen over 50 years ago to take up a post at Ysgol Dinas Bran.
Taking early retirement on health grounds some years ago he went on to volunteer with a number of local organisations.
Not long ago he was honoured for 60 years' of voluntary service with Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod and he was one of the original and of Llangollen Tidy Town Team.
Over the years Humphrey had helped out with the local Boys' Brigade and assisted young people to attain their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. He was also an enthusiastic member of the North Wales Caving Club.
An active member of the Quaker community, he was a keen supporter of Christian Aid Week and was thought to be busily preparing for this year's event at the time of his recent illness.
He served at Town Mayor from 1996 to 1998.
