CHARLES LEE BISHOP. FEB. 15,1934 -
NOV. 22, 2011. It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Chuck at 91原创 Memorial Hospital. Chuck was born in Vancouver's St. Pauls Hospital and lived much of his life in the Lower Mainland. He joined the RCAF as an aircraft mechanic in 1953. He served 16 years and then returned to B.C. to settle in 91原创. Chuck was a member of the Corp of Commissionaires working at Vancouver Airport with Customs & Immigration and finally retired in 2009. He worked security with the 2010 Olympics and also volunteered at the 91原创 Flight Museum. He met the love of his life Anne in 1970 and shared 41 wonderful years. They enjoyed family, friends, fishing and camping. (Although we're not sure of the order). Many of his happiest times were spent out in a boat with a line in the water. His greatest thrill was catching a 43lb. Tyee on a men's only fishing trip. No one could get that rod out of his hand no matter how long it took to land!
