Jack Howard Bishop, 81

It is with great sadness that the family of Jack Howard Bishop announces his passing May 27, 2020 at the age of 81. In 1938 he was born in Oakland, Calif., to Howard and Dorothy Bishop. Jack became a big brother to sister Nancy in 1945. Jack served in the Air Force from 1956-1960. Jack married Gwendolyn in 1960 and they had two daughters, Karen and Sharon. He became a father-in-law to Kurt Sr. and Mark. They gave him five grandsons: Kurt Jr., Jarrett, Aaron, Brian and Keith.

In 1984 he reunited with his high school sweetheart, Geraldine (Geri). Later they adopted their great-grandsons, Daniel and Landon. Jack’s family continues to grow and will be remembered.

Jack never had just a job; they were his passion as a creative artist. Throughout his life he sought any outlet to hone his creativity, where he enjoyed the company of many other artists and enthusiasts. He found great joy with his many classic car clubs. He also enjoyed the many years he spent in Ronan on his property serving the community.
