Earl B. Biddle Jr., 73
TOWNSEND - Earl B. Biddle Jr., of Townsend, passed away peacefully at his residence on Monday, Jan. 28, 2008. He was 73.
Born in Elkton, Md., on Jan. 31, 1934, he was the son of the late Earl Boys and Myrtle (Cavender) Biddle.
Mr. Biddle graduated from Middletown High School in 1953.
He served with the New Castle County Police from 1959–1979. From 1979–1996 he was a millwright and a member of Local 1545.
Mr. Biddle was also co-owner of Biddle Equipment for many years.
Following his retirement, he thoroughly enjoyed life to the fullest and the outdoors on his farm.
Mr. Biddle was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. Family was paramount in his life, especially his grandchildren and his wife, Nancy.
He will be dearly missed and beautifully remembered as someone who always had a smile on his face and a joke for everyone. He touched the hearts of many and always looked on the bright side of life.
In addition to his parents, Mr. Biddle was preceded in death by a brother, Charles H. Biddle; a grandson, Jimmy John Biddle; and a great-grandson, Joseph Robert Kuhnle.
He leaves to cherish many wonderful memories to his beloved wife of 53 years, Nancy (Willey); two sons, Earl Biddle III and his wife Alesia of Smyrna and Charles H. Biddle and his wife Nancy of Townsend; two daughters, Connie Pepper and her husband Jack of Townsend and Kimberly Keeler and her partner Alvin Miller of Clayton; a brother, Richard Biddle of Middletown; 18 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be noon Friday in Daniels & Hutchison Funeral Home, 212 N. Broad St., Middletown, where family and friends may call from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday and one hour prior to services on Friday.
Interment will be in Old Bohemia Cemetery, Warwick, Md.
Instead of flowers, contributions can be made in Mr. Biddle's memory to the Helen Graham Cancer Center, 4701 Ogletown-Stanton Road, Suite 1200, Newark, DE 19713.
