Frank David Higuera
Resident of San Jose
A native Californian, was born in Gilroy on April 15, 1913 and lived in San Jose most of his life. He served in the US Army Air Corps in WWII and had a very strong sense of patriotism, often wearing his favorite Air Corps cap. He loved music and sang and played in bands, most recently this last April at the age of 97. Gifted with a great sense of humor he loved telling jokes to all ages. He particularly enjoyed gardening and travel.
He survived Mae, the love of his life, to whom he was married for over fifty years. Frank is survived by a sister, Hortense, who turned 99 on the day he passed away, by nieces Yvonne, Marlene Carol, and Gail by his grandnephew, Mark. He will be fondly remembered by family and friends.

It was a pleasure to know Frank, I came to know him in 1987,
When I started working for Dr. Ron Tanno D.D.S. His dentist.
He was always nice and telling jokes when he came in for appointments.
Frank will be greatly missed in the office, he became family to us.
He was very talented in music and enjoyed hearing him play one time when he did a party with his band, for my co-worker at her house.
Frank will be missed and it was a honor to know him for these years. He always enjoyed hearing and seeing pictures of my two Boston Terriers puppies when I first got them and He Always asked about them.
Sincerely Jean Amato
Also My sister Wanda enjoyed hearing him play at the party my co-worker had. She thought he was very talented and enjoyed listening to his music,
and meeting him.

Frank was simply the most wonderful man that I ever met. He was probably the most funny man too. I am fortunate indeed that he was my relative. It was a huge loss to me personally, but I will honor his memory by trying to be as fine a man as he was.

I worked with Dave at GE and was in a bowling league with him. He was a good man, and was blessed with a long life. May he rest in peace.
