This man was so much loved by the citizens of West Blocton, and so was his wife Billie. He was a treasure not only on the football field, but just a great person too! Jonette McCool-Ross, West Blocton, AL

I am one of those 'young men' who learned to "keep on keeping on when you think you can't" from Coach. He touched so many lives. Thanks to his family for sharing him with us. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Higginbotham, Robert, Steve, and Frank.

A great man, an outstanding coach, from a great generation. I never knew him, but I played for Minor HS against Hueytown in the late 60's when Coach Higginbotham was at HHS. His teams were always very well coached and conditioned.
