Obituary for Raymond J. Higginson
Raymond Higginson, age 52, of Toms River passed away at home on Friday, June 10 after a 16-month battle with cancer. Ray grew up in Freehold Township where he wrestled and played football and baseball in high school. After graduating from college with a degree in business, he realized that his true passion was history and teaching. He pursued this dream and went back to school in order to become a teacher and a coach. Ray taught social studies in Howell Township for over 23 years and coached cross country, wrestling, and track. Above all else, Ray loved his three daughters beyond measure and would do anything in his power to put a smile on their faces.
