Brian Bischoff Obituary

Brian W. Bischoff, 50, of Midland, died Sunday, Sept. 10, 2006. He was the devoted husband of Joan Marie for 27 years and ardent father of Robert, Christina, Ronald, Stephen and Emily.

Joan,

While working with Brian at Ingersoll, there was no doubt that his family was the most important thing to him. He beamed with pride whenever he talked about his kids. Praying that God will comfort you and your family during this difficult time.

Steve and the Bischoff Family,

Jane, Dan, and I were saddened to hear about Brian's passing. He was such a great coach and great friend to all of the kids he was involved with in the hockey program. He will be missed but not forgotten.
