Bidwell, Harry Randolph
Harry Randolph Bidwell was born in North Creake, England, April 12, 1917. His great grandfather was Squire Beldon, and as a child, he spent several years as a companion to the son of the Earl of Leister, living at Halkham Hall. Harry was an officer in the Royal Air Force. Harry became a U.S. citizen. He moved his family to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1970, from Elko, Nevada, and was the president of flight operations for the land developer, which brought the London Bridge in Arizona. His two daughters, Glynis and Barbara; his son-in-law, David; and his three grandchildren, Leslie, Rick, and Bonnie; his sister, Eunice Salter; and a brother, Derek Snell, survive Harry. Harry joined his loving wife, Lee, on December 7, 2003. The family knows that Lee and Harry are together holding hands as they stroll along God's garden. Services will be held at Harry's home in Scottsdale, where he lived for 32 years. Contributions may be sent to Hospice of the Valley, Scottsdale, Arizona. Arrangements by Messinger Indian School Mortuary.
