Eugene Bishop

Sorry this is late, nine years after the passing of Dr. Bishop.
I was a student at Clemson University in a mechanical engineering class taught by Dr. Bishop, about 1980. He made a tremendously positive impression on me as a student, and as a young man. He was thoughtful, disciplined, kind, and wise. I think about him often. He was a shining light for me. I only wish I could have told him so before he passed on.

I recall fondly the times we fished together. ...especially trips to the Red and Black creeks...and around Starkville, we would get up before class and go to ponds and put on our waders and wade out and fly fish back against the bank. Quiet and peaceful ! Rest in peace, Brother.

Had many great times golfing with Gene at Boscobel, he will be missed by me and many of his golfing buddies. Dick Cooper

We did not have the privilege of knowing Dr.Bishop, but apparent from the obituary and condolences, he was a fine, selfless, loving man. We know his family , and the legacy lives on through these very special people.. Find comfort in knowing he is RAISED IN POWER, and knows the peace that passeth our understanding

My condolences to the Bishop family. I have many fond memories of your father when he was Chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Eugene was a fine man, a fine engineer, a fine faculty member, and had a lasting effect on many lives. He was a good friend for many years. We will miss him.

How fortunate and blessed I was to have Dr. Bishop serve as my advisor during my Clemson career. He was supportive and caring while pushing me to excel at the same time. He tried many times to get me to stay on as a graduate student working for him, yet respected my decision to join the workforce. I know that he continued to follow my career for many years after graduation as he always seemed to know where I was working whenever our paths crossed. A truly great man. His family is in my...
