Higgins, Richard 89 of Galloway, passed away on Saturday, February 16, 2019 in the comfort of family at home. He is survived by his son, James Higgins; granddaughter, Elizabeth Higgins; sister, Margaret Paxton; and those who are family by choice, Debbie and Maryanne Lynch. The family is finding peace knowing he is no longer suffering, and will be reunited with his wife, Elizabeth "Betty" (nee Hasson) Higgins, and son, Ricky Higgins.
His battle with cancer and dementia was long and hard fought, but now he is on to play all of the free golf he wants, eat all the desserts and he'll never miss another Notre Dame game. We will never have the words to express our gratitude and love for Richard, Pop pop, Dad.
