Donny Higgins, a devoted family man and an all-‘round, cheerful good guy, succumbed to cancer of the colon when he was a youthful 37 years of age. He had as a young boy persuaded the DCR to turn an existing tennis court into a facility suitable for street hockey. Whatever he did set a standard for others to follow – father, husband, neighbor, outstanding citizen. Donny’s memory is still an inspiration. Your support will help keep his memory always alive.
