Daniel Goodman Higger's Obituary
Daniel Goodman Higger (Bookie), age 90, passed away in Boynton Beach, FL on July 14, 2023. He was born in Norfolk, VA on January 4, 1933 to Julius and Rachel Higger.
Bookie was always a hardworking go-getter, leaving high school to join the United States Air Force, later obtaining his GED and graduating from William & Mary with a bachelor's degree.

He continued to also be a managing partner in Sunnyside Associates until 2019 when he sold the properties and fully retired. However, his biggest achievement was his 67 year marriage to the love of his life, Frances. He will be greatly missed, and remembered for his quick-witted and audacious sense of humor.
He is survived by his wife Frances, children Sharon Rothenberg, Amy Dagen, and Julius Higger, his 5 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren.
