Paul Bishop Obituary

Paul H. Bishop Jr. went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2017. Paul was born April 9, 1922, to Paul H. Bishop Sr. and Rovine Cashion Bishop. Funeral: 2 p.m. Sunday in Martin's Funeral Home Chapel, Granbury. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home. Paul served in the Marine Corps in World War II, making several island landings in the Pacific.

He then married his current wife, Phyllis Baldwin, in 1981 and they have been married for 35 years. He was a furniture salesman for Ellison's Furniture for many years until his retirement. Paul was known for his love for his family, his hospitality to his friends, his daily walking up until just prior to his death, and many other endearing qualities. The most important thing in his life was his steadfast belief and trust in Jesus Christ.

Dear Mrs. Bishop,
Please accept my condolences for Paul's passing. We worked together at Ellison's for many years. He was always a man focused on the job at hand, balanced with the faith he lived daily.
Your family is in my thoughts,

I met Paul while working at Ellison's many years ago. I thought of Paul often throughout the years even though we lost contact when I stopped working at Ellison's. I always thought a lot of him and his devotion to Jesus Christ. He shared his faith with me several times through those years. And although I was a Christian I always enjoyed our talks.

He was my uncle, truly one of Gods gentle people. I always appreciated his quiet and thoughtful demeanor. Some of the best conversations I had with him surrounded times when he was in situations in WWII, and how he always expressed his gratefulness to the Lord for bringing him through each every encounter. He has left behind a wonderful testimony, and for me and my household, will be remembered.

I'm so thankful for the good memories I have of Paul Bishop. I remember we sometimes would go their house after Wednesday night meetings for chocolate cake. They were always so welcoming and hospitable and I loved to go there as a little girl. And there's the famous "just 5 minutes" at the end of meetings as he held up 5 fingers- which wasn't usually "just 5 minutes"! What a happy day when we'll all be together forever because of Him.

Looking forward to the grand reunion around our heavenly father`s throne with Paul. Thankful to have had such a blessed time of fellowship with him here on earth when we were visiting in Fort Worth. He was always a gracious host, with his wife by his side helping out. His love for our Lord was always evident.
