Bishop, Edwin

With great sadness we announce the unexpected passing of Edwin Bishop after a short diagnosis of cancer. Predeceased by parents Hayward and Bennett Bishop, siblings Wilf, James,Bill, Nellie ,Marg,Florrie, Hayward, Earl and Lorraine. Leaving to mourn with fond and loving memories are his loving wife  Marjorie of 54 years and his four children Scott (Dawn), Robin (Rosanna), David (Laurie) and Lisa. His grandchildren were his pride and joy and he loved each one of them, his sweetie girl Jenna and big boy Evan as well as Hannah, Aika and Albert. Also his very special siblings Emma , Elva and Jack.

He was a teacher, poet, artist, boatbuilder, snowshoe maker, storyteller, mentor and so much more. Not only was he a great man, he was a great husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. What he treasured the most was his family and he loved them fiercely. He set the bar very high as a great example of a leader when it came to community involvement. He will be sadly missed but has left many people with a wealth of knowledge, that without his kindness and desire to share this knowledge, would have been lost. His loss is tremendous, not only for our family, but for anyone who was lucky enough to have met him.
