I am very sorry for your loss. This is a very sad time for the Bishop Family and for all us who love them and call them friends and family. I grew up with the bishops in Gainesville Va. and know them to be great people and a good family. My brother Brett and I spent our youth hanging out with David and James all through out high school and we frequently spent time visiting Ron and Elaine. These are lasting memories and friendships that I will always cherish. Ron was a loving and caring man who would give the shirt off of his back to help others in need. He was a great mechanic and craftsman. But most of all Ron is an American Patriot, Husband and Father. Ron I Salute you for your service to this Great Nation in Vietnam and may your Heavenly Father take you into his arms and say job well done my son for your life's mission is complete! You are sorely missed and will never be forgotten. I pray that God will pour out his great blessings of comfort and aid upon the Bishop family in their time of tremendous loss and grief in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.
