     “Punk” Francis Eugene Bishop of Independence, age 76, passed away on Saturday, November 20, 2021, at St. Elizabeth in Edgewood, KY. Punk was born in Sparta, KY on July 22, 1945, to the late James and Florene Bishop. He retired as a mechanic from Coppage Construction. Punk was always a hard-worker who did anything he could to help some one in need- family or not. He was the nicest, most giving man who had never met a stranger. He loved his family more than anything and treated his nieces and nephews as if they were his own. Punk enjoyed time with his family whether it was playing with grandkids, fixing something, or just watching TV together. Punk was a husband, dad, brother, papaw, and great-grandpa who will truly be missed beyond measure.
