Bishop, Ralph Ralph Bishop Delta, Ut~ Granite, Ut 2/13/1921~12/18/2005 Our beloved father, Ralph Bishop, joined our dear mother, Reva, in a glorious 64th wedding anniversary after traveling "The Lonesome Highway" without her for only seven weeks. After a lifetime of service to his family, church, community and country, Father left all who knew him a rich legacy of love and devotion to duty. His greatest desires were to see his family and friends happy; and to "walk uprightly before the Lord". Regardless if Father was serving as "Bishop Ralph", Judge Bishop, Elder Bishop in the mission field, Mr. Bishop to his students, or Sgt. Bishop to his World War II comrades, he considered all he met as his "Friend". Never did he turn a "broken heart" or "hurting soul" away from his door. A peacemaker always, he lived what he believed. With gratitude for his many acts of love, service and tenderness, his family and friends publicly acknowledge our debt to him for showing us the right way to live. Truly, he lived our Savior's example. Dad's funeral services will celebrate his life Thursday Dec. 22nd, 11:00 am in the Granite LDS Ward Chapel 9575 South 3100 East Sandy, Utah.
