Mr. Higgins was born November 24, 1920 to Greene and Lois Higgins in Winder, Georgia. A family graveside service will be held at Westover Memorial Park at 12:00 PM on Saturday, December 2, 2017.

Harry retired as Vice President of Chas S. Martin Distributing Company in Atlanta and went on to a second career as owner of Advance Rental System until his retirement at age 82. Harry had a good sense of humor and fancied himself a born salesman. He enjoyed the affections of a large, loving family and will always be remembered fondly. He will be missed.

The family would like to thank his caregivers, Margaret Cole, the caring staff at Morningside Assisted Living and the very capable staff at The Place in Martinez.
