TIGER OF A MAN
April 8, 2019
Jerry, a wonderful guy, passionate in his beliefs, strong in faith. Unable to fathom the 'ne' lack of patriotism in his country, and I side with him. A great man to have on your team, a tiger, experienced in so many things. I can't believe I was so lucky as to have found Jerry Bishop and had him in my council, working for the disadvantaged. - Russell Kern, Grand Knight (Past) Council 13981 Colorado Springs

You were a blessed man. You have a lovely wife, an attentive daughter, and grandchildren and great-granddaughters who adored you. You lived to be almost 90 - and God blessed you with time. I had the privilege of attending yours and Phyllis' marriage re-commitment ceremony, I believe, around your 50th anniversary. I send condolences and love to your family at this time of loss.
