A 1999 graduate of Floyd County High School who was serving as a civil affairs officer in the Iraq war has died in northern Iraq.
Army Reserve Spc. Steven Jesse Bishop, 29, of Christiansburg died of a non-combat-related illness March 13 at Contingency Operating Base Speicher in Tikrit.
Assigned to Company C of the 422nd Civil Affairs Battalion (Tactical), based in Greensboro, N.C., his duties included speaking with key leaders, gathering information, interviewing Iraqis and coordinating the commander's emergency-relief program.
He joined the Army Reserve in April 2008 and attended basic training at Fort Sill, Okla., and civil affairs advanced initial training at Fort Bragg, N.C. He deployed to Iraq in June 2009.
He is the son of Clyde and Cleo Bishop of Floyd.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete last night.

-- Ellen Robertson

 

A 29-year-old soldier from Christiansburg who worked to reconstruct bomb-shattered towns in northwestern Iraq died of a noncombat-related illness last week, defense officials said.
Spc. Steven Jesse Bishop, who worked in Roanoke processing scrap metal into various products, died Saturday of an unspecified illness after serving since June near the northwestern city of Tal Afar, the U.S. Army said in a news release Wednesday.
As a soldier at war and as a civilian at home, Bishop's friends considered him a methodical worker with a calm demeanor. Family members declined to be interviewed.
"He stayed even-keeled all the time," his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Chris Kern, said over the phone. "He was very mature, and that's the kind of person you wanted. He was not very excitable."
Bishop grew up in Floyd County and was a starting tackle on the county's high school football team until he graduated in 1999, coach Winfred Beale said.
As a student and after graduating, he frequented restaurants such as D.J.'s Drive In and listened to WSLC-FM, Star Country, said friend and high school classmate Ben Hall.
He served as a volunteer firefighter with the Floyd County Fire Department sometime between 2001 and 2005, and lived with his parents until 2007, Hall said. In September that year, he bought a one-story, four-bedroom house off of South Franklin Street in Christiansburg, according to town records.
During that time, he worked for Steel Dynamics in Roanoke, in a section where he heated and pressed processed scrap metal, Hall said.
In Iraq, Kern said, Bishop worked in a four-person unit near Tal Afar as part of the 422nd Civil Affairs Battalion, 352nd Civil Affairs Command, U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command based in Fort Bragg, N.C.
The city saw conflict as late as July and September, when suicide bombers killed 41 people and two suspected insurgents were killed. But Bishop's work entailed interviewing local religious and secular leaders and arranging for the construction of schools, roads and plumbing to help stabilize the region, Kern said.
In his six months there, his team completed about 50 projects, working 12- to 18-hour days six days a week, Kern said. They were scheduled to return to the United States in June.
From the trailer where and he and his three teammates lived, Bishop would communicate over e-mail almost daily with friends and family in Southwest Virginia.
"He was enjoying what he was doing," Hall said. "He talked real well about the military and his fellow soldiers."

Longtime Floyd County resident Murray Eli Bosniak, was born Oct 10, 1944 in Philadelphia PA. He was a high school teacher and college professor, educational consultant, writer, actor, and singer. Murray attended Central High School of Philadelphia, earned his BA at Temple University and his Masters of Arts and Teaching at Indiana University. Murray taught at the innovative Parkway Program for gifted students in Philadelphia. At Parkway Gamma, located near the University of Pennsylvania, Murrays creative and effective teaching technique, which he called Relational Teaching, was studied by visitors from the United States and abroad, even serving as the focus of the Ph.D. research and thesis of an Australian doctoral candidate. In addition, Murray was honored as Best Teacher at Drexel Universitys Summer Program.
Murray retired from the Philadelphia Public Schools and moved to Southwestern Virginia in 1984, which became his home for the rest of his life, with work-related interludes in North Carolina and New York. He taught at Virginia Techs Upward Bound, as an adjunct instructor at New River Community College, Coastal Carolina Community College, and as high school teacher at Onslow County Schools. Murray did educational consulting in Relational Teaching in Virginia schools and presented at educational conferences at universities in Virginia and North Carolina. He published articles on Relational Teaching in national journals on education.
Murrays poetry album, Walking with the Great Spirit with music by ACourt Bason, was choreographed and performed at Virginia Tech by Carole Crawford Smiths (former soloist with the Dance Theatre of Harlem) troupe under her direction and with some segments with Carole herself dancing the primary roles. He performed his poem Breathe in the Light at churches and other venues throughout the east coast as a part of Kanta Bosniaks Sacred Space Workshops and at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, where he served as Poet in Residence. As an actor and singer, Murray performed the male lead in South Pacific with performances at Virginia Tech and Radford University, and other feature roles in conjunction with the Virginia Tech Theater Department.
Murray passed away after a long battle with Parkinsons disease on June 11, 2019. He is survived by his brother, Jay Bosniak and his wife Linda, parents of Eric and Debbie, and his three sons, Michael Bosniak and his wife Johanna, parents of Murrays grandchildren Audrey and Charlotte, Peter Bosniak and his wife Eden, parents of Kai and Willa, and Joshua Bosniak and his wife Alicia, parents of James. Murray is survived by his former wife Kanta Bosniak; the memory of love was not forgotten.
A celebration of his life will be held at Jacksonville Cemetery on Oct. 12, 2019 at 2pm. The family is being served by Gardner Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made gardnerfuneralhomefloyd.com

Clifton Brammer, age 93, was born on August 17, 1926, in Floyd, Virginia, to Bub and Ora Correll Brammer "Granny Duck". The oldest of six siblings, Clifton served in the United States Navy during World War II, during which time his father passed away. Except for his Navy time and brief training in Chicago following the war, Clifton lived in Floyd until 2013, at which time he moved to Arbor Ridge of Kernersville, N.C. to be closer to his daughter. God called him home on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, at Walnut Ridge Assisted Living. Clifton's greatest joy was teaching the Bible, which he did for over 50 years at the New Haven Baptist Church. He served as a deacon for those years as well as teaching Bible studies in his home, jail and prison ministries, and fill-in pulpit supply in the area. He was a great encouragement to many pastors and those in Christian service. He loved his family and had many close friends. He was predeceased by his parents; his wife, Eula Reed Brammer; and two brothers, Jack Brammer and Eddie Brammer. Clifton is survived by two daughters, Sharon Allred of Kernersville, N.C., and Jo Anne Brammer of Weagamow Lake, Ontario, Canada. He was PaPa to two grandsons, Billy Allred (Priscilla) of Winfield, Pa., and Jonathan Allred of Winston-Salem, N.C.; as well as four great-grandchildren, Gracelyne, Katherine, Aaron, and Nathan Allred of Winfield, Pa.; two sisters, Betty Slusher (Bud) of Floyd, and Sue Young (the Rev. Ronald) of Fincastle, Va.; a brother, Billy Brammer of Floyd; as well as many nieces and nephews. Visitation was held at the Gardner Funeral Home in Floyd on Friday evening, January 10, 2020, from 6 until 8 p.m. The funeral was held at the New Haven Baptist Church in Floyd on Saturday, January 11, 2020, at 11 a.m. with burial at the Jacksonville Cemetery in Floyd. The family is very grateful for the care provided at Arbor Ridge of Kernersville and Walnut Ridge Assisted Living as well as Hospice of the Piedmont.
