Thomas Bishop

I sent you a message???? Don´t know if it went to you?? Ernie Keener

Hi Kathy and Steven and family!

Kathy,
I learned only today of Tom's death and I am so very sorry for your loss. Tom was a good man in the truest meaning of that description. Honest, giving and always thinking of others. I'll miss him very much.

Tom will be very missed but the way he lived his life is a model for all of us: Live the life you love and Love the life you live. Tom certainly enjoyed everyday of his life.

Dear Kathy and family, With each day we think of you and the great loss you are bearing. God bless, comfort and sustain all of you. We fondly remember the great Tom/Fr. Kelley stories my beloved brother Jim often told us. Keeping you ever in our prayers. Love, Mary Lou, Bob and Jimmy

Dear Kathy and Deanna
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I will always remember the warmth you and Tom showed me in my year abroad. Dee, you had an awsome dad!
Thinking you, Love Maria

To the whole Bishop clan, upon these shores and beyond: I always thought of Tom as a second father, a pillar of faith whose dedication to his family and those close to him was unending. I count myself blessed to have flown with him - a life-long passion that he shared so freely. My memory of Tom from my youth is the man of quiet reserve who could "discipline" with a stern look and hug you with his eyes. A true gem. He lives on in each of you, and those, near and far, that will continue to...

Dear Kathy & Family:

As Archbishop Hurley said last night, we are all connected by the love that we share. It has been an honor to have known Tom and to have been connected with him, through our families, over the years. The connection will continue, I am sure, regardless of where our paths take each of us.
