On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when William was killed in the line of duty.

To the Bishop family, fellow officers, and all who call William beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Master Sergeant gave to his community and the citizens of Florida and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on June 17th, 2017.

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I am so sorry for the loss of Master Sgt. Bishop. It is my honor that I am representing my agency this year at the Law Enforcement Memorial as one of the name readers for those fallen Law Enforcement brothers in arms from this past year. I wanted to take the time to reach out to those that I am recognizing on this somber occasion. Again, I am sorry for your loss, to the family, the community, and your department.

Sgt. I think of you everyday I go on duty and often go by the 402 mile marker as it's a place I will never forget. Wished I could've done more when this senseless tragedy happened, but am thankful the good Lord put me at your side when he called you home. I had the honor of escorting your family at the Florida Police Memorial and will escort them in Washington D.C this coming week at the National Memorial. You will never be forgotten Sgt. I will continue to proudly in your honor....God Bless

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

I have lifted your family to God every morning for over six years. I pray that William's life and death will bring glory to His name.

Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln

I think I may have worked with the Trooper during a Football Game in Gainesville Florida! While the Death of any Law Enforcement Officer is a hard thing it is harder when you either know the person or know of the person! As a Master Sergent, Sergeant Willam Bishop as guided many a New Trooper threw His years! The Knowledge and experience lost in too high to put a price on!

We have lost a well-known and well-loved and respected man in Master Sergeant. It takes a very special man to make the rank of Master Sergeant in the Florida Highway Patrol and Bishop was that man. Go with God Sgt. and meet all you brothers in heaven. God Bless his family and friends.
