Read MoreSorry to hear of our loss. Mr Bickel brought a whole new meaning to learning for me. He was very understanding and very caring. He was very kind and he enjoyed working with us Native Kids on our Rez. I finished at Tse Bit Ai and now my favorite area of study to this day is still english. Thank You & R.I.P.

Wow, Its sad that Mr. Bickel has passed away. I was a student at Tse Bit Ai Middle School 13 years ago. He was such a nice and happy teacher who liked to help us and joke with the students to lift our spirits. Im so sorry to hear. Thank you Mr. Bickel for your time to help us students become who we are today.

Daniel bought books from us and would come by to browse our thousand books, especially poetry. He was loving and funny, creative and brilliant. He was so humble he didn't see how deep and smart he made people around him feel.
