I met Rick in 1980 at the yard. We worked together in bldg 92. When my husband Mac & I moved to East Lebanon, Me we joined his van. He would pick us up at Duckworths where we left our daughter to be babysat. We did that until we transferred to Kingsbay Subbase in Kingsbay, Ga. We've had many laughs. RIP Rick Higgins

I am so saddened by this. Rick was such a great guy, always laughing, and smiling. I met him back around 1980 when I started work at the shipyard, rode in his vanpool and he was kind enough to pick me up at my house since he lived close by. My sincere condolences to his wife and family, so sorry for the loss of such a nice guy.
