Dr. Eugene M. Bishop

Condolences for the loss of a Patriarch that impacted many.

To the Bishop Family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. Losing a loved one in death can be a very traumatic experience. The Bible encourages us: "Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt YOU in due time; while YOU throw all YOUR anxiety upon him, because he cares for YOU" (1Peter 5:6,7)

Gene Bishop was a wonderful man and this is a great loss . I have shared some wonderful times with you in Africa and was very priveleged to have known him. May you walk tall in the great hunting grounds hereafter my friend .

What a great loss this world has experienced...I had the privilege of chatting with Mr. Gene this past New Year's Eve at Southern Woods. Conversations with him were always so interesting and inspiring. He even invited "us" to come to Africa "anytime...just let me know when..." What a man he was...He will be greatly missed by our family...

Gene Bishop was one of the sweetest men I have known in my life. We had a special admiration for each other. We both came up hard and managed in our own ways to make good things happen in our lives. He ALWAYS let me know that he was there for me if I needed ANYTHING. Tom Coleman and I visited with him in his home last year and his "same old stories" always had a special flare. It breaks my heart to know that he isn't around to be an old man. He loved his children and grand children, he loved...

As a West Fulton High classmate of 1953, I always admired Gene's business acumen and success in so many varied ways, his radiant friendship, and his interest in other people. What a success he was in so many ways! He accomplished so much.
