Joe Coffey
My condolences to the Higdon family. I knew Jo Higdon when we were at Quantico in1968. He and a few other guys came with me to Boston during long weekends and stayed with my family. My mother was from Texas and I learned years later that she and Jo Higdon's mother had started a correspondence. Jo was one of the finest men I have known. Tonight I had been telling old Marine Corps stories when my daughter told me to look up some of my old Marine friends on the internet. I just saw Jo's obituary tonight. I can tell from the obituary that he had a great family and wonderful life. He was the best rifleman in Echo Company at Quantico OCD and I knew he would be a great pilot.
