Since I am unable to make it to the memorial service I shall play one of his favorite games in his honor OneShot, that he would not stop talking about since I knew him. I personally feel I missed out in talking to him since we last spoke and I completely regret it. I have and will always consider him a great friend.

I taught Bishop my first year at the International Academy of Macomb. He was a very kind, bright young man and a terrific writer. I am shocked and saddened by his passing and will fondly remember his kindness and grace as a student to a teacher who was finding his own footing. Sending love, prayers, and kind thoughts to his family and friends.

I only got to know Bishop briefly; he was my brother Yiannos' roommate and dear friend. There is no doubt that Bishop was an extraordinarily bright young man and it hurts me greatly to know that the world, his family, and my brother have been cruelly deprived of his kind presence. I will be unable to make it to the memorial service to express my condolences to his family and to support my brother and his friends, so I wanted to leave this note for his loved ones. He will be missed and my heart weeps for your loss. Please know my brother and my family will always cherish his memory and keep it with us.
