I'm lucky to have Grandpa Bob and Grandma Edie as grandparents.  I will miss Grandpa's warm smile and welcoming nature.  My favorite memories of summer always included the few days that Grandpa and Grandma would drive up to Wyoming to visit.  I always looked forward to watching the old home movies on the reel-to-reel projector.  It was always a little surreal to see Uncle Dave, Aunt Candy, and Dad as little kids!  My favorite part, though, was when we'd inevitably drag Grandpa outside to play.  When I was little, Grandpa, Dad, and I would play baseball in the grass field behind the nearby wildlife museum.  I'm still trying to figure out we never broke any museum windows!  And in more recent years, Grandpa was always a good sport when we dragged him to the golf course.  Grandpa's friendly stories, quick wit, and tasty desserts will be greatly missed.  I am grateful for the time we spent together.  I love you, and I've always been proud to call you "Grandpa."

Grandpa, I have so many wonderful memories of our times together that still make me smile and laugh out loud today. From all the times at Hay Lake fishing, working together in Hamel on our new house, countless trips to St Charles to be with you and Grandma on the holidays, but probably one of my all time favorite memories was the time we came down to Alabama unannounced and surprised you and Grandma for Christmas.  It was a long time ago but I still remember that look on your face of happiness and joy when you opened your front door and saw us all standing there. I think of you often and miss your laughter and "one liners."  You were one of a kind and always made me proud to call you my Grandpa Bob. Thanks for the memories Grandpa!

Grandpa Elliott was the only grandpa I had in my life since 5th grade.  He and Grandma treated my brother Brett and I no different than their "blood" grandchildren.  Grandpa always made me laugh when he would take the credit for Grandma's cooking.  He truly was a shining example of the greatest generation ever!  He never lost his sense of humor even after surviving all that he did.  I loved him so much and I miss dearly!

I can remember Uncle Bob riding the little three wheeled tricycle on the back patio of their crane rd house. We always had such a wonderful time at those bbq's at Bob and Edie's house. He will be missed by the Durant's!!!

Grandpa ALWAYS had some orange candy slices at the house to eat before and after dinner!!! He had a way of swimming that no one could do...but him.  He was someone I looked up to and respected a great deal..I will miss you Grandpa!

Bob, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your love, support and humor over the years. It was an honor just to have met you, but any even greater pleasure to be part of your family. I admire you and consider you a role model in my life. You are a hero, a gentleman, and a man of God. The world needs more men like you in it. You will be missed, but not forgotten. We will love you always.

Papa, You knew how to make someone feel special with laughter, love and tears. You were there for me in every part of my life. I will always remember your kind heart and sense of humor.  Your smile was magnetic and your warm welcomes could make anyone feel loved. I will never forget your voice and how you always called me April Jean. I hope that I can honor your memory by being the kind of person you were and loving my children the way you loved me. Even though my heart is broken and that void will never be filled, I know that you are smiling down on me from Heaven. I love you and I will miss you forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Elliott family.  We remember Bob as a gentle, always smiling man.  May he rest in peace.

I know Bob is in a good place because he was a very good man. My concern is for his wife my Sister and her family who will miss him so much.

My condolences, Please know that our thought's and prayers are with you during these difficult times. I recall good memories when I'd stayed at Bob and Edie's house growing up.

We pray for the Elliott family in the passing of Uncle Bob. I remember having a blast going out to visit with him and Aunt Edie on Crane Road so long ago. Love you both! Roger & Tammy Ford.

Grandpa I miss you everyday.  I am so greatful you were so open and loving to three complete strangers. I know your watching over all of us now and forever till we meet again.  I love you.

Bob will always be remembered as a good and talented uncle to me. A great sense of humor and willing tobe helpful to anyone.     Jerry F.

Dear Edith, 
Your husband Bob was one of the nicest men I've ever met.  When I bought my first Alabama home he showed me about and made me feel welcomed to our small community.  You and he were wonderful neighbors and friends.  Bob and Edie were the stars of our association.  I'm sorry I can't be with you at Bob's funeral, but I fell last week and my 92 year old body is still recovering.  My prayers and fond wishes to you Edith.  Love, Betty Lyons Simonetti

Thinking about you all, wishing we could be there. We will miss you dearly grandpa bob, how's the weather up there? Our fondest memories will always be your quirky sense of humor, love you always grandpa.....sending our love and thoughts, your grandchildren, and great-grandchildren from wyoming.

My dearest Papa, It's hard to even imagine life without you. My entire life is filled with wonderful memories of you. I will miss your warm smile and your witty sense of humor, but most of all I will miss your tender heart. I will love and miss you always and will carry you with me until I see you again. I love you.

I will miss you and will remember all of our good times together...  playing in the snow as high as the roof in St. Charles, warm days by the pool in Alabama and fishing for our shore lunch in Canada.  I love you and will keep a special place in my heart for you always...

I am so sorry for your loss. What an amazing life and testimony.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one.  May you find comfort in the God of peace (Romans 15:33).

Sincerest sympathies to the family of Bob Elliott.  He was always such a kind hearted gentleman. May God's peace now comfort all who mourn him.

It has been our honor to know you. May God's love surround and comfort your precious family.

Bob your gentle soul made you special to us and we will miss you dearly.  As we pass into a new year, we pray God will heal our hurt and lift our sorrow, transforming it to joy and gratitude that we were blessed to share our lives with yours during your stay here on earth. In this way, your spirit continues to live and shine through us, forever reaching out to touch others.
May you rest deeply in God's eternal love.
Maurice & Nancy
