Del led a full life of his own design. He graduated with a Forestry Degree from Paul Smith’s College in the Adirondacks before building his dream home with his wife, a log cabin deep in the Bristol hills. He could always be spotted from afar in his yellow truck, with the classic Del Walker’s Landscaping logo. He took great pride in his work, owning and operating his business for 51 years. He also loved giving back to his community, donating his time and efforts to the Honeoye Booster’s Club and the Paul Smith’s Alumni Association. Del oversaw the construction of Honeoye Central School’s soccer fields complete with his trademark Leyland Cypress plantings.

For all his hard work, Del also relished his time off, reserving the last two weeks of July every summer for a visit with his family to his beloved Martha’s Vineyard. And any description of Del would not be complete without mentioning his love for the Boston Red Sox. His summer nights were often defined by how well the Sox played or, how bad the Yankees lost!

His legacy lives on both in Upstate NY and on the Vineyard through his many landscaping projects he completed for friends and family. This includes one particular White Pine tree, planted by his classmates from Paul Smith’s in honor of the infamous White Pine Camp of 1962. Today, Del’s White Pine is huge, the shape of Epcot Center, and stands out from the surrounding forest for its boldness and rugged charm–a personification of Del himself.

Friends may call on Sunday, August 13th, from 1-3pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 8624 Main Street, Rte 20A, Honoeye, NY where Del’s Funeral Service will follow calling hours at 3pm.  Memorial contributions may be made in Del’s memory to the Paul Smith’s College Alumni Association, 7833 New York 30, Paul Smiths, NY 12970.  To send a condolence or share a memory please visit:

Scott began his journey through life in Deansboro, growing up on the farm Scott was always busy. From bailing hay to trapping raccoon he lived in the moment and never left a task unfinished. He enjoyed doing body work on cars and creating knick knacks in the barn. Right there beside him was his brother Troy whom he grew up with, sharing time on the snowmobile to beating each other up over who could drive the tractor. Scott loved his early life and would remember it fondly, sharing memories of his time on the football field to causing shenanigans in the town. Scott’s mother and father, Ed and Sandy, raised him and taught him everything he needed to succeed in life and build lasting relationships. Scott would leave the small town of Deansboro to achieve a degree in electrical engineering. Scott married the love of his life and his other half in Lori. He cherished her and began a life with her that is nothing short of magic. Even though he graduated with an electrical engineering degree his love for all computer programming took root and he soon made a career of it. Scott was never the one to accept being average as he rose through the ranks wherever he worked. Gaining knowledge and spreading that to all he managed. Scott settled down on a farmhouse that will always need work. He loved to tinker and took pride in being a handyman that could fix anything. Getting away from the computer screen Scott enjoyed to fish and spend time with his family. He invested everything he had in his wife and kids, he was a loving husband and father. One of his favorite things to do was take his family on a vacation, every year, to the beach and bask in the sun with those he loved the most. Scott lived with his emotions on his sleeve and wouldn’t be scared to tell you his opinion. He was the first to laugh and the last to leave you when you were in pain. Scott Bishopp is a great man who touched many lives, made many smile, and leaves behind a love that will be felt and cherished for all who knew him.
