Obituary: A life well lived for 96 years concluded on 6th, 2016, when Francis J. Brud Higgins, Sr. of South Hadley died at Renaissance Manor in Holyoke. He was born in Holyoke on 4, 1919, the son of Frank and Margaret (Sheehan) Higgins. Educated at Sacred Heart schools, he was a gifted athlete who first gained local attention on the basketball court in the 1930s as the driving force of Sacred Hearts three consecutive Western Mass Small School Tournament Championships at UMASS, a feat never replicated in the long history of that tournament. Moreover, basketball wasn his best sport. In his last year of school he led his baseball team to an undefeated regular season while leading Western MA in hitting with a .521 batting average. a short term with the Brooklyn Dodger farm system, he returned to Western MA where he successfully coached his former High Schools basketball and baseball teams before and after serving his country in the Navy during World War II. His athletic accomplishments were recognized when he was inducted with the inaugural class of Holyoke Catholics Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010. Brud spent his professional life in sales. He began in the automobile business as a key member of management teams at Ford dealerships in Holyoke, Springfield, Pittsfield, and Hartford. Later, he transitioned into the advertising business serving for two decades as a sales executive for the Yellow Pages division of New England Telephone and Telegraph. His leisure interests were varied, but definitely included golf. He was at various times a member of The Orchards Golf Club, and Wycoff Park Country Club, where he served multiple terms as an officer of the Mens Golf Association. His ability as an excellent iron player accounted for many holes in one - estimated by some at 13. Brud also loved to travel. As a young man he enjoyed family vacations in Old Lyme, CT. and years later, wintered in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL. often accompanied by family and close friends. His ports of call included but were not limited to Hawaii, Ireland, Italy, Bermuda, and CA - once again often joined by family members and dear friends. Brud loved the idea that around every corner on these trips was something he had never seen before. During his later years, he enjoyed watching golf and UCONN Womens basketball from the safety of his recliner. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife Dorothy (LaBelle), his sisters Mildred Higgins, and Lucille Burke, and a brother Edmund Higgins. His memory will be cherished by his son, Brud Higgins Jr. and his wife Judi of South Hadley, as well as by his daughter Catherine Higgins of South Hadley, with whom he lived. He also leaves a loving brother, John (Hacko) and his wife, Ellen of South Hadley. He will be also be remembered by his granddaughters Tara Morrissey and her husband Brian of Watchfield, England, Jill Therrien of Springfield and Jami Wells and her husband Ben of Somerville, MA. He also leaves two loving great-grandchildren, Torsten Morrissey, and Leah Wells, and several nieces and nephews. The family would like to acknowledge the wonderful care he received by the staff at Renaissance Manor, with special thanks to his nurse, Julianne. The funeral will be held 11th at 9:00am from the Barry J. Farrell , 2049 Northampton St. Holyoke, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00am in St. Patrick Church, Main St. South Hadley.
