I am not sure what section to post this. But I have lost a dear friend. I will be in Cleveland today to say goodbye to this friend. His name is Crill Higgins. He was my high school band director at Cleveland High. He was a great teacher, mentor and friend. He was one of the motivating factors in my music. He was well loved by everyone who knew him. He was a well-known man in Cleveland. As the matter of fact, the Blue band room at CHS is named Higgins Hall in his honor. He wrote CHS's alma mater song.
I will be riding down with another former director of mine, who worked with Crill (Ed Freytag), to attend his funeral today (Friday) at Broad St. Methodist Church.
I am sure the family will covet our prayers.
I will miss this man. He was one of the kindest human beings you would ever meet.
Heaven has a new resident.
