Higgins continued from page 10 to find a more loyal group of friends anywhere. Donny Higgins, as most know, was a kind and caring South Bostonian, who was taken from this life at much too young an age. He was a man who helped others in so many ways. A great son, broth- er, husband and father, family was so important to him and so too were his many MANY friends. His passing was a big loss to the entire neighborhood. This annual tournament is a wonderful way to re- member such a good man. The way he lived his life is why he will never be forgotten. 12 SOUTH TODAY • www.southbostontoday.com June 27, 2019
