in Wadsworth, Ohio on September 12, 1942.
In 1962, Don began working for the Internal Revenue Service in Atlanta, Ga. He started out as a Tax Examiner but was soon able to transfer to the Data Processing unit where he became involved in programming. He then worked his way up to the regional office as an analyst, assisting all the Southeast region's district and service centers to implement internal office automation equipment and applications.
Don retired in 1999 after 37 years with the government.
He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Patricia Bishop; son Craig Don Bishop, of Hoschton, Ga.; daughter Amanda Brennan; son-in-law Ed Brennan; and two granddaughters, Cairstin and Gwynaeth Brennan, all of Alexandria, Va.
Don and Pat moved to Albertville in 2009 from Lilburn, Ga. They joined First Presbyterian Church of Albertville that same year and have been active volunteers in their church and community.
