Willie Joseph Bishop, Jr.

   "There's a reason for every pain we bear,
For every burden.... Every Care..."

     Willie Joseph Bishop, Jr., began his journey through life on Tuesday, October 2, 1956, in Hertford County, North Carolina.  He was born to the parentage of Annie J. Moore and the late Willie Joe Bishop, Sr.  
      
     'Fat Wallace', as he was fondly called, was educated in the Northampton County Public School System.    For more than 20 years, he was employed with Perdue Farms.  

     Willie's kind, outgoing personality and good humor, will be forever missed.

     On Friday, May 18, 2018, our dear loved departed this earthly life.   In addition to his father, Willie was also preceded in death by the love of his life, Diane Neal. Now they finally meet again, where the streets are paved with GOLD!

     His life, love and spirit shall forever remain in the hearts of: his daughters, Kimberly Deloatch of Knightdale, North Carolina, Crystal Deloatch of Garner, North Carolina, Velecia Neal of Potecasi, North Carolina and Treva Neal of Raleigh, North Carolina; seven grandchildren, De'Asia, Andre, Essence, Imani, Sin'Cere, Laniyah and Lynai; seven sisters, Carrie Crowe of Williamston, North Carolina, Georgia Leary of Hartford, Connecticut, Estella Bishop of Murfreesboro, North Carolina, Terry Bush (Albert) of Woodland, North Carolina, Juanita Mosley (George) of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, Marjorie Edwards and Isabell Jones (Willie) all of Rich Square, North Carolina; four brothers, Roy Tyler of Conway, North Carolina, Arthur Bishop (Athelia) of Newport News, Virginia, James Moore (Belinda) of Raleigh, North Carolina and Garland Moore (Deborah) of Suffolk, Virginia; a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
