In 1964 Gary married Marjory DeLong and they left the service in December 1965, moving to Kansas City, Mo. They moved back to Iowa in 1967, and he started working at Iowa Manufacturing Company in Cedar Rapids, from which he would retire 40 years later. Gary married Shirley Pospisil Campbell in 1990, and they would spend the rest of his life on the farm south of Lisbon. In retirement, he enjoyed traveling to visit family and living the life of, "the chicken rancher."

Pam and I greatly miss our dear friend and brother in Christ. I will miss his phone answer of "brother Bishop, how are you?"

I wanted to share this picture of our oldest son with Pam and Gary at Hardee's after church. We will see you again brother!

In Christ,
Jake and Pam Bishop family
