My Mom and brother Bob welcome Jay to the hereafter, thanks to all of Jays friends and relatives who have been so sympathetic and caring. Time will ease this pain, but time won't erase the wonderful memories of Jay and his endless care for others.
So sorry to hear of Jay's sudden passing. I am retired from Yale and had occasions to have Jay treat me. There will certainly be a void at Yale - he will be remembered as the kind and caring PA who greeted you with a smile and always knew your name.
I am very sorry to hear about your loss. You are in my prayers! May God Bless and keep you. We all at Yale New Haven Hospital who have worked here for years all know and love and will miss "Jay".
I have worked with Jay for about 18 years. Jay was a kind and thoughtful person. He was always very supportive. He spent his life caring for others. His loss is very keenly felt. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
I would like to send by deepest sympathy to the Bishop Family, Jay was a very kind person. I was deeply sadden when I heard of his passing. He was a fine doctor and he will definitely be missed. Stay Strong and Be Encourage.
I remember when I started working on Tompkins 1 at YNHH. Orthopedic and ENT patients. 2 RN's ,2 LPN's, and nurses aides. Jay,Joe, and Jeff were the best Nurses aides I ever worked with. Jay had such a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh.I was so proud of him when he became a PA. He never forgot me when I came to Employee Health every year for my PPD.He was a great guy and a great soul.I will never forget him.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Jay this past year in Occupational health. It just seemed to be in his nature to make us laugh, especially at ourselves everyday. He always made me feel welcome and part of the staff. It will not be the same without him, he will be deeply missed by many. Renee C. Pesce pca

I have known Jay since I worked with him on Tompkins 1 when he was a Nurses Aide. When he became a PA and worked in Employee Health, he always remembered me. He had such great talent in photography and a wonderful sense of humor. I loved his laugh. My deepest condolences to his family.I will never forget him.
Godspeed to Jay. Brenda and I were planning to get together with Jay this summer. Haven't seen him since UVM. Great guy, fair-minded and just. Love ya pal. Tom and Brenda Rooney.
To the Family of Jay Bishop, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to your family regarding Jay's passing. I've worked at the hospital for more than 20 yrs and Jay was always my "go to guy" whenever I injured myself or needed my yearly shots. I enjoyed talking with him and listening to him tell of his vacations in our National Parks. His photographs captured nature at their best and he will be surely missed by all of us....He was a kind and special man.. Sincerely, Linda Galluzzo
To the Bishop Family, I am imagining the thousands of lives touched by Jay during his career as a Physician Associate. We were blessed by his commitment to patients and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Sincerely, Mary Warner, MMSC, PA-C Associate Dean, Yale Physician Associate Program
I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences on John's passing. Although I did not know him personally, I knew him as the comforting presence of Occupational Health. I had just been to see him as a patient last week. He was such a lovely man, always so kind and compassionate. Please take comfort in knowing how respected he was in the Yale Community. He will be sadly missed. Sincerely, Colleen Miller, R.N.
My prayers are with all the family members, he was a great person each time I had to visit Occupational Health he always had a great smile and very friendly he took care of me....he will be missed...
I am saddened to hear of the Passing of Jay. I have known Jay from working at the hospital for many years. We would chat about his love of Nature so beautifully illustrated by his photos, shared experiences, and upcoming trips. He shared the joy he experienced in Nature's Cathedrals. His presence will be missed by me and all those that knew him.
Dear Bishop Family, I am saddened by the announcement of Jay's death. I was his Resident director at UVM when Jay came in as a freshmen. His sister brought him to Marsh hall. Jay and I became friends almost instantly and have remained friends. He had just sent me some CD's of his visit to many of the national parks. While quiet in nature, Jay was a loving person with a dry sense of humor until you got him to "loosen" up, then you couldn't shut him up. Pam and I send our heart-felt condolences to the family. Sincerely, Rodger & Pamela F. Summers Vestal, NY
We have lost a very special friend and colleague. HE made it a practice to view the beauty of his world through his camera lens and view his friends through an open heart. We miss him but are grateful for having been fortunate enough to share a part of his life.
