Obituary of Locke Henry Bishop

He was a avid fisherman, word smith, outdoorsman, hardworking father, husband, brother, son, and uncle. Daddy was a Vietnam veteran where he served his country with utmost pride and honor. He had written in his bible, "if you know it's right, jump in with both feet". That's exactly what he did when he got his forever glimpse of the King of Kings. Preceded in death by his father, Locke Bishop Sr, mother Hazel Irene Hall, and dear sister Dorothy Galloway. Surviving are his two children, son Alan (Samantha) Bishop, daughter Sara (Tater) Morgan. Four precious grandkids Elijah, Hannah, Kyle, and Hazeleigh.
