John J. Bish

I'm so sorry to hear about John. He will be missed by so many. As one of my "regulars" I always looked forward to his appointments. We always spent more time talking than it took to do his breathing test. The world lost a great man, but I have great memories of him that I will hold close.

We at Ambient Air were very sad at the passing of Mr. Bish. Although we have known him for a short time, he was a delight to visit.
Our deepest sympathies are with you.

Tom and Kim and Bish Family: I am sorry for your loss. I briefly knew your dad Tom, but what I saw was that he was a good and kind person. Take care.

I met Mr.Bish at UMC, I was one of his many respiratory therapists .
And I just wanted to say that Mr. Bish was one of the most pleasant , kind, humorous and sincere individuals that I have ever known.
It was a pleasure to take care of him.
I looked forward to seeing and talking with him.
Yes, Mr. Bish has left a lasting impression on me ..in the most positive way.
God bless to his family.

Shirley,

I met you and Mr. Bish at UMC and I instantly connected with ya'll. John and I shared so many conversations and he was always there for me when I was having a rough day. His take on life made me want to smile more. He was like my father and he was also my friend. All of this happen so sudden and I never got a chance to say good-bye, but I know he knew how much I cared for him. Heaven got a good one!!

John brought a smile to many people. He attended the Transplant Support-Lung, Heart/Lung, Heart web site and we were hoping he could get his lung transplant he so much wanted to receive. He was encouraging to others, while he so was sick. A man who could bring a smile to others lives.
Shirley and family, you are in my thoughts.

I have so many great memories of being at the Bish's home throughout my high school and college years. John and Shirley always treated all of us "marching band kids" as if we were part of their family and created a second home for us. John was always genuinely interested in what was going on in our lives and was always eager to learn new things. You are all in my thoughts.

Shirley, John, and Tom, My thoughts are with you. I worked with John for many years. His skills and working style guaranteed that he had the respect of all those he worked with. His personal style,friendly manner, and integrity also won me as one of his many friends.
