Raymond Nicholson Bishop Jr.

Raymond Bishop was "Uncle Nick" to me and my brothers and sisters, the children of Uncle Nick's sister, Mary Lou Rankin. He was one of the most gracious, caring, humorous and loveable persons I've ever known and was beloved by the Rankin family, for all of the reasons so wonderfully presented in his obituary. He and Aunt Jean are greatly missed. While their visits on Earth are over it is so fitting they will be together once again as they are committed to the ocean they cherished.

I am saddened by Nick´s death. He was a kind and compassionate person. May angels greet him and May he know the deep everlasting peace of God.
