In Loving Memory of Reginald W. Bishop

BRADFORD, VT - Reg Bishop, 81, passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on June 7th, 2026.

After graduating from Bradford Academy in 1964, Reg proudly served six years in the National Guard as a culinary specialist. Following his service, Reg spent the rest of his life doing what he knew best, working hard and helping where he could. Over the years, Reg worked for several different contractors, and eventually for himself. Reg continued to give back to the community in his retirement at the Atkinson Residence as their maintenance man, where he thoroughly enjoyed getting to visit with all the residents.

Outside of work, Reg continued to put care and effort into everything he did. He spent years working on his house and was always known for his well-maintained lawn. However, Reg will forever be remembered by how much love he had for his family.

Reg met his lifelong partner, Ruth Nutting, at Bradford Academy. After years of dating throughout high school, they married on May 20th, 1967, and shared 59 wonderful years together. They built a life full of commitment, loyalty, and countless memories.

Reg's legacy lives on through his loving wife, Ruth Bishop; his daughter, Lisa (Ben) Germaine; his two grandchildren, Chelsea Germaine, and Lacey Germaine; and several nieces and nephews.

Per Reg's wishes, there will be no services or visiting hours.

Arrangements are in care of Hale Funeral Home, 187 Upper Plain in Bradford, VT.
