David John Higdon

David and I became friends in 1966 while we both lived at a boarding house in Hatch End outside of London. We shared a love of cars years before either of us could drive. After coming back to the states we kept in touch sporadically. To me it always seemed that a phone call or a random afternoon together talking about common interests made it seem like we shared a friendship almost as close as next door neighbors. The planet is a lonelier place now. Rest easy my friend.

I am so sorry for your familys loss. May you all find comfort in the memories of happy times shared with each other.

It was through work that Dave and I became acquainted. As others have mentioned he had a ready smile. When I went to the shop I always knew if he was free for a few words there would be smiles and laughter. After I retired I woukd go by to say hi and how is everybody doing? Lost track of Dave as the years have gone by. Notice of his passing was a shock. My condolences to his family. RIP Dave, thank you for the smiles and laughter.

I met Dave many moons ago at Caltrans, he worked at Shop 5 and I at Special Crews. I instantly took a liken to him, he had that easy laid back way about him, nothin seemed to ruffle his feathers. Once when I was on vacation, the car I was in broke down out in the boonies near Mesquite Nevada on a Labor Day weekend. I called Dave for help and he helped guide me how to temporarily make a fix so we could limp it to a repair shop in town.
When Dave and I were working out of town at the same...

I am so sorry to hear this. Dave was such a wonderful person, and a joy to work with. My condolences to his family.

Very sorry to learn of your Brother David's passing Tim. He looked like an amazing man. Many prayers to you, your Mom and the family.

This picture is how I will always remember David... with a huge smile on his face and laughing whole heartedly. Everyone that knew him misses him. My best to his entire family.

We havent kept in touch much after my retirement 10 yrs ago but whenever I was in SLO generally made a point of looking for Dave. From day one when we met there was always a connection because of racing and fast cars. We had conversations on many subjects. Guess well have to wait to continue these bs sessions. RIP my friend.

Our sincere condolences.
