Dear Judith and family, I was so saddened to learn about Bob's recent passing. Although he and I hadn't seen or spoken with each other for several years, going back to our high school and college days I will always remember Higs as a great athlete and good friend. My thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to all of you. Sincerely, Bill Bors

We are so saddened to hear about Bob's passing. We will miss him dearly. One of the most generous human beings. When we hear the bells ringing during consecration at San Marco Catholic Church we will think of him. RIP

Robert graduated from CW Post College in 1965, earning varsity letters in both Baseball and Football. Robert went on to marry his college sweetheart and CW Post graduate Judie Higgins ’65 and raised their three children Kimberly, Brett, and Todd in nearby Sands Point, NY. Bob, as he was known, was a true giant of a man who will be remembered as a generous, thoughtful, and caring husband, father, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, grandfather, and friend. Bob, was most comfortable while surrounded by friends and family and there were very few things he enjoyed more than spending time with his 9 grandchildren.

I had the opportunity to coach Bob's son Todd, while he was in High School. We will never forget what a gracious host Bob and his family was when inviting the team into their home. We also will never forget how supportive he was to the program and always offered any help when needed. Soon after when we opened a retail Sporting Goods Store, Bob was one of the first people at our door offering support and encouragement. He even provided some antique Sporting goods items that we could put on display in the store. It was words of encouragement from people like him that help keep us in business for over 27 years in Port Washington in a challenging retail environment. Thank you Bob. Your generosity will never be forgotten and you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.
