    Timmy had irrepressible goodness and a sense of humor about him which the trials of life could never overcome. In his professional life as a plumber, he had a reputation of excellence, honor, and integrity. He never tried to lie or cheat someone and often didn’t charge a person if he felt your need was great. When he entered a room, he was lively and energetic; often asking you if you wanted his autograph or requested confirmation that he was the ‘best looking guy in the room’. His goal was always to put a smile on your face and leave you in better spirits. If he knew you were down on your luck, on a handshake he’d leave money in your palm and give you a wink with the understanding you didn’t have to pay him back. When our father passed away, even at six years old, Timmy told our mom not to worry, he would help be the dad. This core of goodness stayed steadfast in his heart as he set the example of always helping others, always giving, always caring. Surely he is by our Lord’s side, as he gained the right to be so.
    All of my love to you my brother.

    My Brother, My best friend, My Hero! How can I live my life without seeing you or talking with you again 😢. He called me weekly to check on me & joke around about life. Tim was a friend to everyone who had been fortunate to meet him. He was a huge character with a huge heart and was always there for anyone in need of a helping hand. His humor was contagious. He was the “Joe Pesci” in our family. The Irish ☘️ Mafia Godfather 😂He was raised by a beautiful Mother who adored him as he did her. If wealth was measured by how big your heart was, Tim was the richest man in “Da Heights”. The hole in my heart ♥️ will never be replaced. I Loved My little brother.

    I talked with Tim many times over the past couple of years and at our Plumbing meetings! He definitely always made me laugh and always had a great cigar for me! He was a dedicated plumber and always wanted things to be right and was emphatic about plumbers following the rules!
    I will truly miss this man with a heart of gold, his wit, and his honor!!!
    God Bless to you and your entire family and friends!
    Rest In Peace, my friend!

    Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim’s family during this time. We are Tim’s neighbors and we will miss him. He was a wonderful, kind neighbor, we always refered to him as the plumber. My husband also works in the trades and always commented that Tim was a solid, ethical man that really knew his trade. We will miss waving to you when you drove off in your van. Hugs and strength to your family.

    Some of my fondest memories of Tim occurred at our plumbing inspectors meetings.Tim could brighten the room with his laugh and jokes yet, he served as the epitome of what a good inspector should be. Knowledgeable, with high standards and integrity. I feel fortunate to have called him my friend for over 15 yrs. Condolences to your family. Tim was, and is, rreplaceable.

    I went to call you today. A split second and I realized you would not answer and then saw it has been two months exactly. It feels like just a week or two ago though. Everyday I look around at my home that you helped with, I feel blessed and still can see you working. My big brother, my hero always and just a beautiful soul. You were taken way too soon and deserved so much more. I will keep Jr forever close. We miss you so very much. LilSis

    My sincere condolences to the entire Higgens family over the loss of Tim.Tim was one of the special people we meet in life .He lit up a room when he walked in. His irrepressible personality made everyone he met feel good. What a special gift he had & he shared it with everyone.He was my plumber & i gladly referred him to everyone..will sincerely miss his great spirit.

    Tim did a lot of plumbing work in my home. I recently tried to call his business phone for some additional work and did not get a call back. I suspected that maybe he re injured his hip or maybe sold his business. I had no idea that he passed away. I agree with all the positive comments about Tim and I extend my condolences to his family.
