  Mr. KELLY of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of 
Timothy Bishop, who passed away Tuesday, November 17 at the age of 64.
  Timothy was born in May of 1956 in El Paso, Texas to Martha and 
Graham Bishop. For six years, Mr. Bishop served his country in the 
United States Navy as an E-5 Pettie Officer First Class. He soon joined 
the Mississippi Army National Guard and served three years as a 
Sergeant. After 25 years of dedicated service, Timothy retired from 
Day-Brite.
  In addition to his military and community service, Timothy Bishop was 
an avid sportsman. He was a competitive shooter, hunter, and a life 
endowment member of the NRA. Mr. Bishop also served as a Golden Eagle 
sponsor for youth NRA programs.
  Mr. Bishop is preceded in death by his wife, Jonnie Fay Umfress 
Bishop and his father. He is survived by his mother, Martha Bishop; his 
son, Jamie; his daughter, Katie; three siblings, and four 
grandchildren.
  It is because of selfless individuals like Mr. Bishop, who dedicate 
their lives to protecting this great nation that we can boast the 
liberties we most value. I am grateful for his service and share my 
deepest condolences with his family and loved ones.
