He was a son of Charles E. and Ida M. Susice Bishop. He received his education at Santa Clara Rural School and graduated from St. Regis Falls High School.

He married Arlene C. Phillips on 11/27/1954 at St. Ann’s Church in St. Regis Falls.

Throughout the years, he worked on the St. Lawrence Seaway, ALCOA and then at General Motors for 30 years, retiring from the Lost Foam Department. On the side, he would do construction. He built his own home, and helped his children with theirs.

The greatest treasures of Sonny’s life are his family. Being with his kids and grandkids meant the world to him. He always had the time for cards and dominos with them. With the ever present Red Man in his pocket, he could be seen working in his garden, hunting, fishing, frogging, playing horseshoes, watching a Yankees game, sitting by his wood stove, reading or scratching lottery tickets. As a GM retiree, he was true to the company buying only General Motors trucks. In recent years, he found some enjoyment in games of chance. Charles was dedicated to his catholic faith which sustained him throughout his life. He was a parishioner of St. Peter’s and St. Ann’s Churches.
