Re: RIP Tommy Bishop
That is Tom Bishop, who is still alive and well. It is his father Tommy who has sadly passed away. The pic of the yellow buggy is of uncle Tommy in his younger years.Terry Phillips wrote: ↑Tue Apr 03, 2018 2:09 pm Am I getting mixed up here but who was it that traveled through a few countrys in Southern Africa and where dishing out school shoes along the way.
