| Jim Bishop, 1945-2022, was a truly irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind, unforgettably good man. |
I'll always remember Jim Bishop as one of the most positive persons ever, someone who spread lots of encouragement and good humor wherever he went.
How do you say goodbye to a father who remembered every birthday, anniversary, graduation, with a card and flowers...
How do you say goodbye to someone who influenced so many lives, lit up the room with his smile, infectious energy, and celebrated every day with his time on earth…
How do you say goodbye to someone that leaves a hole in your heart you’ve never experienced before….
You say goodbye… knowing…
Dad is no longer worrying and is at peace…
You say goodbye knowing dad is already writing a new column in heaven interviewing everyone...
You say goodbye feeling all the love and; prayers of family and friends here today supporting our father and knowing he left a mark in the world...
You say good bye knowing dad can hear again…
You say goodbye knowing our dad is at the dinner table with our grandparents and other loved ones, laughing, telling stories and Grandma Mutti made sure there was a sprig of parsley on the serving platter...
You say goodbye knowing there are seats at that dinner table for you…
till we meet again…
In spite of his very active and busy life Jim always had priority time to give to his devoted wife Anna and for his beloved daughters, Jenny and Sara, as well as each of his seven grandchildren.
This is the tribute his daughters wrote for his memorial service last Saturday:
“How do you say goodbye…”
- Jenny and Sara
How do you say goodbye to the happiest, kindest soul that we were blessed to have as a father…
How do you say goodbye to a dad that was a role model that showed us what a Christian dad, grandfather and husband should be…
How do you say goodbye to a dad who instilled the love of music in us, especially for the 50’s, 60’s and some of the 70’s until the Bee Gee’s!!!
How do you say goodbye for a father who modeled how to treat and respect our mom with such a fierce love for 54 years…
How do you say goodbye to a father who remembered every birthday, anniversary, graduation, with a card and flowers...
How do you say goodbye to someone who influenced so many lives, lit up the room with his smile, infectious energy, and celebrated every day with his time on earth…
