Dear Higgins Family,
I was shocked and saddened today to learn my friend has passed. Jack and I knew each other for over 30 years starting at the old American Hardware shows in the 1970's.
Twelve days ago, Jack sent me an email attachment of the "7 Wonders of the World" as he felt I needed a reminder of what was truly important in life. Both of us already knew what was important . . our wives, our children and the reward of having grandchildren. There was nothing more important to Jack than all of you.
Had I known, I would have been in Pittsburgh last week. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Wishing peace and comfort in the memory of Jack's smiling face,
Lee Lamison

To the Entire Higgins Family
On behalf of all the staff and students at Chartiers Valley Primary School, please accept our condolences on the passing of Jack. While no loss is easy and there are never the "right" words to say at a time like this, we hope that the knowledge that he at peace will bring you some comfort. Patty, I know how much Jack meant to you just from all the chats we used to have when we worked together.

Patty,
As I told you yesterday when we were together. Remember you have 6 brothers and sisters and we are always here for you just as you and Jack have always been there for me and my daughters and then for my grandchildren. His hugs and words of encouragment to me over many years will be missed and you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember I am just a phone call away. Love, Nan, Melissa, Emily and the baby's (as Jack would always call them.)
