June 11, 1948 - November 19, 2018
Tom was a loving husband and father. He spent 35 years working at BC Tel/Telus until his retirement in 2003. In his spare time you could find him fly fishing with his dog Riley at Whitetail Lake where he formed a great community of friends.

brother Dale Biddeson and his aunty Anne Sparling.
