He was preceded in death by his father Leroy Bischoff, father in-law Carl Kirschner, brother in-laws Ray Redelman, Lee Graf, Rick McMillin, and sister in-law Jackie Bischoff.

Dino was born in Batesville, Indiana on October 31, 1957 and graduated from Brookville High School. He worked for Brackney Excavating for several years before purchasing the burial vault portion of that business with his brother, Ken. They owned and operated Bischoff Concrete products for 30 years. He was also the sexton for St. Michael cemetery for almost 30 years.  He was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church.

Dino was a kind, funny, strong and hardworking person who put the needs of his family and friends before all else. He helped build his dream log home 20 years ago. It was his pride and joy and a place where he could drink coffee on the deck, watch the sunsets, and take care of his garden, blackberry and grape vines and cherry trees. He loved his pets, fixing things around the house, antiquing, fishing, woodworking, hunting mushrooms, trains, and reading and watching westerns. He made the best chili and wine from his blackberries and grapes. He and his family enjoyed dressing up and having themed Halloween parties for his birthday. He had a passion for creating clever and sometimes spooky displays for each party.
