Paul Patrick Bishop, 64, of Wynantskill, New York, passed away on November 14, 2025. 

Born on March 17, 1961, in Albany, Paul lived a life marked by dedication to his family and a tireless work ethic.

A master plumber by trade and a proud business owner, Paul built a career grounded in skill, reliability, and integrity. His ability to fix anything was not just a professional talent but a personal hallmark—one that he generously shared with those around him. He took particular pride in teaching his daughters how to repair and build things, passing down both knowledge and confidence through hands-on lessons.

Paul’s devotion to his family was the cornerstone of his life. He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Michele Bishop; his daughters Jessica Bishop and Lessie Bishop; and his son-in-law Lloyd Thomas Jr. His granddaughters Natalia and Mia were the light of his life—he delighted in spoiling them at every opportunity. Paul also leaves behind several brothers and sisters who shared in the many chapters of his journey.

He was predeceased by his parents as well as several brothers and sisters.

A loyal man with a generous heart and gifted hands, Pauls legacy lives on through the skills he taught, the love he gave, and the family he held so dear.

May his memory bring comfort to all who knew him.
