Sincerely, Michael Vossmeyer,

Wonderful doctor

Dr. Bishop was my son’s, Adam, and my daughter’s, Andrea, pediatrician. They always loved his little animals that he had clipped to his stethoscope. He would always make you feel at ease and could ask him any question. He was such a great doctor and a good man.
To the Bishop family, I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Dr. Bishop.
