BOMBER MEMORIAL

DONALD WILLIAM "DON" BIDDLE ~ Class of 1975
July 23, 1956 - May 5, 2014



Don was delivered to Dorothy and Bernard Biddle on July 23, 1956, in Oakland, CA (This can be the only explanation for his love of the Raiders and A's!), and departed May 5th, 2014, having succumbed to throat cancer.

Don spent his early years in Oakland, Chico, CA, Everett, WA and Richland, graduating from Richland's Columbia High School in 1975. He enjoyed fishing, 4-Wheeling, hunting, pretty much anything outdoors, and what is sure to be a surprise to most of his former educators, some quiet time to just sit around and read. If he even owned a TV it would be to watch the Raiders.

Don was a quiet and caring individual who, without hesitation, would drop whatever he was doing when a friend was in need of help. Sometimes this "Help" was just a younger brother wanting to get an early start driving stick, or constantly pulling an older brother out of the mud, but he never questioned the need. Don spent a good portion of his adult life framing houses throughout parts of Washington, Nevada, Arizona, and California. He would eventually land in Chula Vista, CA performing sub-contract work in the decommissioning of Naval vessels prior to the onset of a stroke.

Don was preceded in death by his mother and father, Dorothy & Bernard Biddle of Richland.

Don leaves behind his significant other, Jan Reyes, sisters Barbara ('75) Butler (Stan), Brenda ('75) Freeze (Ron), and Niva Cameron; brothers Frank Biddle ('73) and Brian Biddle ('80) (Terese) and numerous nieces and nephews.
