Clarence Bishop Jr.

As a small child, Eel and his family relocated to Columbus, OH. Eel attended Columbus Public Schools. He later worked for Columbus School Board, Wonder Bread, and Kroger bakery. He also volunteered for various schools in the district.

Eel will be remembered as being a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He was always known for entertaining and providing his insight whether you liked it or not. Of course, he was always sure to provide a good laugh. Eel loved music, nice cars, clothes, and jewelry. In his downtime, he could be found watching one of his many televisions (the bigger the better). Eel had a special love for dogs; he and his buddy, Doe, will be together forever. Rest in peace, Doe; you will truly be missed.

Clarence was preceded in death by his parents and his mother-in-law (whom he loved dearly), Ernestine Lipsey Hill. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 43 years and caregiver until the end, Stephanie “Mona” Bishop and to their union two children, Constance Bishop and Clarence Bishop III; special niece-daughter, Jameela Ridgeway all of Columbus, OH; other children include, Tina (Troy) Reed of Los Angeles, CA and Reese (Michelle) Hill of Smyrna, DE; grandchildren, Jade Bishop-Stargel, Clarence Bishop IV, Taylor Malone, Charles “Chucky” Malone, Devon Hightower, Jade Hill, and Clarence Hill; sister, Brenda Bishop; brothers, Willie Clower and Barry Bishop. A host of aunts, uncles, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends too many to name. Special devoted sister-in-law, Sherry “Cherry” Berry, who stuck by him to the end.

Family will receive friends 11 am until 12 pm Friday, December 30, 2022 at Schoedinger East, 5360 E. Livingston Ave., where the home going service will begin at 12 pm. Interment to follow at Glen Rest Memorial Estate.
