IT IS WITH PROFOUND SADNESS THAT WE ANNOUNCE THE PASSING OF CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE WEST ISLIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY,
HARRY G. HIGBIE.
A LONG-TIME MEMBER AND AVID HISTORIAN, HE WAS A FREQUENT VOLUNTEER AT THE WEST ISLIP HISTORY CENTER SHARING HIS FAMILY HISTORY AND THE LAGRANGE LEGACY WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
A U.S. NAVY VETERAN, HARRY PROUDLY SERVED OUR COUNTRY AND WAS DEVOTED TO HIS WIFE, BARBARA (WHO PREDECEASED HIM), HIS DAUGHTERS MICHELLE, DEBORAH (DAVID) AND JENNIFER AND GRANDSON, DYLAN.
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS KINDNESS AND WISDOM AND MOST OF ALL HIS FRIENDSHIP.
HARRY WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.
