Jerry Lee Higginbotham

To Mona and family, my thoughts are with you. Although we played golf together from the early 70's, much of the conversation was about families. It was a time to hear about what everyone was doing. Jerry was always about being Mr Consistency to everyone. Always committed to family, volunteering, friendships, playing golf by the rules (Darn it), and always giving countless hours of work to the Special School District to benefit the needs of children with special needs.
He loved playing...

As someone who played a lot of golf with Jerry at Forest Park, two things stand out for me: He was the best amateur player I ever played with and his golf etiquette was outstanding. Jerry, I thought you would live foreever and I'm so sorry I won't have you as a team partner again. May you be at a better place. Love to your family. Norm Schumacher

Ah Jerry...you departed just the perfect way, but, such a surprise! I will miss you and our many conversations about life, golf, Eliot and others. My heartfelt condolences to Mona, your children and grandchildren. You've left shoes that can never be filled, My next round will definitely be in your honor and it will be at the Highlands!

I will miss you Jerry. You were a great friend and a great man.

The smile that lit up a room! Jerry will be a missed presence at Eliot chapel and to all who were blessed to know him. Mona and family, may the loving memories keep the grief to a dull roar, you are all in our thoughts.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family. I used to sing in the choir at Eliot with Jerry.

I played a lot of holes of golf with Jerry at The Highlands and enjoyed his easy going positive attitude. We talked about how much he enjoyed his time as an Educator and his love of golf. Fine Man.

We'll miss you, Jerry.

Please except my deepest sympathies to you and your family. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
