Dear Phyllis, We were so sad to learn of Dick's death. Wes's memories go back to those teenage years and he talked about how much fun Dick was. He certainly was a likable, pleasant man and our lives were richer for having known him. Wes & Elaine Stephens

Many families in Greenville had the opportunity to know Dick Higgins the Service Manager at Jeff Branch's. He was always a friendly person and would share a moment or two with you when you stopped in for service. He will be greatly missed as a friend. Our prayers are with you all.

I worked with Dick at Jeff Branch's, we started downtown Greenville (Dick was already working there where I was hired in 1961) Dick was a great manager of the Service Department. We all enjoyed our years at the Dealership, and as managers...we had a few great trips. May God comfort you, Phyllis, at your time of sorrow. In Christian Love, Betty Hilton

Dick was the best things about Jeff Branch's Motor Sales! We always trusted him and his advice when shopping for new cars and servicing them. He was a quiet, kind man. Love and Prayers for the family-
