It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Weston James Biddle, who died unexpectedly in the early morning of March 15, 2018, in his home in New Westminster, BC at the age of 76.
He will be sadly missed by his wife of 56 years, Vivian Biddle, along with their son Warner Biddle (Jennifer Fazio) of Burlingame, California, their daughter Paula Humenny (Kelvin) of North Vancouver, and their four grandchildren Ethan, Isabelle, Sofia and Oliver. He is also survived by his brother Roger Biddle (Barbara) of Saskatoon. He was predeceased by his parents James and Hazel Biddle (Harlton) and his sister Murva Sembalerus (Michael).
The eldest of three children, Wes was born on August 5th, 1941 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. He grew up on a farm about 20 miles northeast of town and shortly after graduating high school began a successful 31 year career at SaskTel, working with some of the pioneering telephonic technologies of the time. Moving to Vancouver in 1993, Wes worked part-time at Home Depot while helping Vivian establish a thriving hair and prosthesis business. In his spare time, Wes loved to travel, attend concerts and spend time with his many friends at the Gyro Club. He will be forever remembered as a devoted husband and father, a loyal friend, and a thoughtful man with a sharp, dry sense of humor.
Friends and family are invited to attend a Celebration of Life ceremony, to be held at 1pm on April 7, 2018 at the Kearney's Columbia-Bowell Chapel, (219 – 6th Street, New Westminster, BC)
