Im so sorry for your loss. I checked on him throughout the week and was so sad to hear that he passed. Your family has been so heavy on my heart and I am and will to continue to pray for you all. It was a joy getting to meet you all. -Jodi Johnston RN- WKP

May God hold you and your family in the palm of His hand as He walks this sad path with you.  Please accept our prayers and condolences in this most difficult time.  Just remember that he will never leave you that your father's spirit is always near.  We love you.  The Dugger Family

Our hearts are heavy as we share your pain in the loss of Uncle Kenny.  He truly was a special man and my mind is filled with so many good memories of him as I was growing up.  He will be missed.  
We pray that as you learn to live life without him that God will give you comfort and strength and fill you with His peace and unfailing grace. When you become too weary to travel this part of your journey, know that He will carry you and will give you the rest and comfort that you need to continue on.  He is faithful. 
We love you.

Ken worked for my Family and I as one of the first salesmen we hired at South States, now HDW. He was a valued and loyal employee. Louie would sometimes get annoyed with Ken, but Ken would always lighten the mood with a joke, or a saying from his time in Castor.
He learned his craft well, and will be missed.
Rest in Peace, my Friend.
Randy And Tootsie Davis

I am so sorry to learn of Ken's  death.  We grew up together, and shared lots of laughs and good times.  I am so glad he got to come to the class reunion at the school  last year.  I shall never forget him.  Our prayers will be with each of you, as you go through this loss.    Freddie Knotts Davis

My family and I send our condolences. God bless.

Kenny, Clara and I offer our heart felt condolences for the lost of your Dad. I know you and he were real close and I am sure he will be missed greatly by you and Donna. You and your family will be in our prayers. I always was glad to see your dad when he would came into the store and he always had a question about a part or a appliance as a joke and I would always give him a crazy answer which he would a good laugh from. We will not be able to come to the viewing because I have been fighting the flu all week and it has just about to put me into the hospital and I sure don't want to go there! As you said "He will be Missed". Bill and Clara Walker, Shreveport. LA

I will always remember Ken with fondness, and a smile. He worked with my Family off and on for many years at South States, Inc., now HDW, Inc.
My Father would get annoyed with Ken when he was teaching him to sell, but that feeling always faded quickly as Ken listened and learned. And Ken always changed the mood with a joke or country quote from Castor.
We will always remember him.
Rest in Peace, my friend.
Randy and Tootsie Davis

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another. 

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Kenneth Bishop our “Brother-in-Arms”.   To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Kenneth.   And to Kenneth it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country while serving in the U.S. Air Force.  Kenneth, we bid you a sad farewell.  You will be dearly missed from among our ranks.  Be at Ease.  Rest in Peace.
 
On behalf of the 1,307 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion,  I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Kenneth's family and loved ones.

Dennis Engdahl, Commander, American Legion Post 14

Ken was a good friend, and I'm sadden by his death.  Unfortunately, I can't make it to the visitation or services because I had surgery today.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.  
Sincerely, Carl Futrell

Ken, Donna, and Joan,
I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember him always smiling, laughing and telling jokes to all of the teenagers that would hang out at your house. He made everyone feel at home. I pray for your comfort as your hearts are breaking. Love to you all and God Bless your family.

Dear Gay, Genie, Tod and family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. We will miss Kenneth, his smile that was always there when you walked into a room.  His corny jokes that made us laugh and his love for his family. May you be surrouded by peace during this time of  loss.
Carol, Robert & Coner Bishop

Ken was a great believer in laughter and jokes.  In his younger years he drove "rattle-traps" and it was nothing to see his car with 2 or 3 flats on it at the same time.  He was so used to it that if you told him he had a flat, he just say he'd go fix it in a minute.  He was a good friend, sympathetic listener.  He always let me be "right" in every discussion, no matter how wrong I was.  My condolences to the family and he will be missed, but he has left all of us a heart full of laughter.

My sincerest condolences to the Bishop family. Ken was a good person and I always enjoyed talking and dealing with him.
