We will all miss you!
Bishop family,\r\nI was so sorry to hear about your dad/husband. He was such a sweet and special man. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to tell. I will always cherish memories of growing up in small town DeRidder, and having such special friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
