I just heard of Brians passing. Amazing how fast life is. I remember him with a smile. Back in the 70's the fabulous pharaoh's, lots of fun and adventure taking the city slickers mountain climbing. Keeping you all in my prayers and may Gods love comfort you through this difficult time and the days ahead.

Very sorry for this loss. I had not see Brian in years but remember him being in the band back in the 70s and 80s. We hung out quite a few times and all i can say is he was the coolest guy i ever met. We had some great times.

God, I just heard about this at 6:00 tonite, and I rushed over to the funeral home. Brian Bishop was a Giant amoungst men. Brian never had an ill word to say about anyone, ever! He was always welcome in my home, and I always enjoyed burgers with him at Sully's in Somerville. I am glad to have known him for all of these years and most proud to call him "My Friend". My condolences to his wife Jocelyn, and the 2 boys he so cherished and devoted his life to. He will be missed by all who knew him. May he rest in peace...John

Dear Joselyn, Brad, and Cam, Brittany and I are so sorry to hear about Brian. We were so lucky to be neighbors of such a great family! I always felt secure when Brian was around, he always kept an eye out for us especially my daughter "the princess" as he called her! He loved to discuss his upbringing on the farm, his French heritage, his love of cooking, his vegetable garden, and anything else that came to mind on those few occasions we were able to sit and chat and share some of our lives. I realize how blessed we are to have these moments . no matter how busy our lives are, we should always take the time to get to know someone, even just a little bit. Brian loved Joselyn, Brad, and Cam, this was often our discussion! He was so proud of his boys! A big guy with a big heart, we will never forget him!

Wow! Just saw this. How very sad that a beautiful life was lost so early in life. I remember Brian from elementary school. I have a photo of him from 6th grade. He was such a nice "kid" and I have thought of him often throughout these years. He will surely be missed by many.
