Barry Dale Biddulph

Barry was born in Lakewood, Ohio, to Raymond and Katherine Biddulph. He graduated from Berea High School in 1958 and went on to proudly serve four years in the United States Marine Corps. He remained active in the veteran community as a member of Brook Park American Legion Post 610.

Barry dedicated his career to serving others as a firefighter with the Brook Park Fire Department, retiring after many years of service. He was also a longtime member of Firefighters Local 1141.

Barry was the beloved husband of Norleen (nee Kollar) Biddulph; loving father of Beth Porch (John), Greg Biddulph (Wendy), and Connie Winland (Ken); and cherished grandfather of John (Rachel), Zach, Cody (Ava), Nick, and Logan. He was the brother of the late Lee and Jim Biddulph and a dear cousin and uncle to many.

In retirement, Barry especially enjoyed traveling, with Hilton Head Island among his favorite destinations. He also treasured the friendships he made during his years at Berea High School. He looked forward to attending class reunions, served on the reunion committee, and enjoyed getting together with classmates throughout the years.

At home, Barry took great pride in caring for his lawn and keeping his car spotless. In fact, he was known for having the cleanest car in the city. In his later years, some of his favorite moments were spent relaxing on the patio, soaking up the sunshine and watching the antics of the wildlife in his backyard.

Those who knew him, will remember Barry for his dedication to those he loved, his service to his country and community, the lasting friendships he cherished, and the simple pleasures that brought him happiness throughout his life.
