Firey received in 1948 his bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, in 1949 his master's degree from the University of Toronto, and in 1954 his Ph.D. from Stanford University. He was a faculty member at Washington State University for 8 years and then became a professor at Oregon State University, where he retired as professor emeritus in 1988. He was a visiting professor at several universities and made several trips to the Mathematical Research Institute of Oberwolfach. In 1974 Firey was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Vancouver. In addition to his professional travels, he and his wife, often joined by friends, sailed in the Pacific Northwest's San Juan and Gulf Islands, the Mediterranean seas around Greece, and the Baltic. Land travels included sojourns in France and trips to Turkey, England and Scotland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece and Mexico. Upon his death he was survived by his widow and his daughter and predeceased by his son."@en . . . . . . . "American"@en . "1104254224"^^ . . "4848"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . .
