Lawrence Thomas Higgins

Larry was a giant of a man. Great personality and a big smile And laugh. I recall his office at Hughes was decorated with items he picked up in Africa. He used to have lock pick set that he probably kept after leaving the CIA. He was a very generous person. He bought a dress for my daughter when she was born. I wish he were still around so I could get a history lesson about the Cold War from someone at the front line. Thank you Larry for your years of service defending our country. Mitch Levine

I think about Larry whenever I drive past his house off of Prospect.

Caroline - I will always remember your Dad driving his van up to Sebastopol with his brother Artie and dogs, arriving just in time for Val's soccer games. How about getting Val settled into UCSB that day 4 1/2 years ago :-) I also remember the most enjoyable dinner in Boston with Larry, Mary Ellen, Patricia, you and our girls. He was truly charming, warm and larger than life.

will always remember Uncle Larry walking down that ski slope in sugarbush just waving to us and everyone else in the chair lift. not to mention when you guys would come up north for the holidays. Oh and the ride to Vermont in the back of that pick up with the colman heater four kids and a dog. Wouldn t get away with that today but it was great... cousin Tim

I also woked with Larry at Hughes Aircraft in El Segundo. He always had a smile on his face and treated everyone with respect and kindness. I am deeply sorry to hear of his passing. Catherine St. John

As Calvin Canedy's financee, I was always the only female among Larry, Larry Lepore and Cal. I also shared many a good time in Larry's company and was always included in whatever activity they were doing. I, too, will miss Larry and his gentlemanly ways. My deepest sympathies go to his 2 daughters and granddaughters.

I considered Larry as one of my very best friends. We shared a lot of time together either in Hermosa Beach, Big Bear and San Pedro. I will truly miss him and the many good times we spent together. My sympathies to his 2 daughters and grand daughters. Calvin G. Canedy

I worked with Larry at Hughes Aircraft. His personality could fill the room. He was a "people person" and always treated everyone in a warm friendly manner. My sympathies to his family and loved ones on their loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Larry at Hughes Aircraft Company. He was a real character and just a terrific person. I visited him several times when he lived in Hermosa Beach to just B.S'd with him. He bought a gift for my daughter when she was born 20 years ago and I'll always remember him for his kind gesture.
