Dorsey Humfleet, age 74, of Speedwell, Tenn. was born on February 6, 1934 and went home to be with the Lord on January 21, 2009. He was a devoted member and trustee of Carr’s Chapel Baptist Church where he served faithfully. Dorsey loved fishing, gardening, and most of all spending time with his grandchildren.
