Robert Elliott

June 27, 1954 - January 15, 2016

Robert Alvin (Bob) Elliott, 61, passed away in his home on January 15, 2016. He was born June 27, 1954. He was the son of the late Alvin and Mildred Elliott. He graduated from Ridgewood High School in West Lafayette. Bob worked at Jones Metal in West Lafayette then Clow's in Coshocton prior to starting his own appliance sales and service including refrigeration with his wife outside Newcomerstown, for which they ran for many years until Bob's declining health. Bob was a very intelligent man when it came to fixing older vehicles, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and painting. He was a man to take on most tasks. He always had a saying if it doesn't work I can't hurt it. He enjoyed car shows where he showed his own car. He enjoyed auctions, watching Nascar, and listening to country music. But most of all he loved being with his wife, children, and his miniature Pincher Miss Abbie. He is survived by his wife of nearly 37 years, Judith (Hughes) Elliott; also five children, James Bernardo of Newcomerstown, Lelia Elliott and fiancee Dustin of Akron, Bobbi (Glen) Grewell of Coshocton, Jeffrey Bernardo of Newcomerstown, and Eric Elliott of Oklahoma; four grandchildren, Charlene (Andy) Jin of Zanesville, Blake Grewell, Logan Grewell, Spencer Grewell, all of Coshocton; two great-granddaughters, Skylar and Annalise Jin of Zanesville. He will always be remembered by his family with that very caring smile and those beautiful blue eyes. He was a very loving husband and father and grandfather. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Anyone that ever met Bob couldn't help but like him.
