ELLIOTT, Robert “Bob” Lyons Elliott

Passed away peacefully at Lakeridge Health Port Perry on Monday, January 19th, 2026, at the age of 88, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories that will be cherished by all who knew him.

A well-loved father, husband, grandfather, and friend, Bob was known for his quick wit and legendary dad jokes. No gathering was complete without one of his groan-worthy punchlines, delivered with a grin that made it impossible not to laugh.

Bob dedicated many years of his working life to General Motors, where he was known as a dependable hardworking employee who took pride in his work. Starting as a District Sales Manager, Bob moved on to work in the dealer org department and later managed the employee vehicle centre. His strong work ethic and commitment provided a solid foundation for his family and reflected values he lived by every day.

He shared a beautiful life with his beloved wife, Launi, to whom he was happily married for 62 years. Their marriage was a true partnership – built on love, laughter and unwavering support – and served as an example to all who knew him.

Above all else, Bob was a family man. He will be remembered for his kindness, his steady presence, his sense of humour, and the deep love he had for those around him, who along with his wife included his 3 children: Karen(John), Sherrill(Roger), Steve(Aletta), and his 7 grandchildren: Sydney, Buzz, Riley, Cameron, Jackson, Kaci and Grace. His legacy will live on in the stories he told, the laughter shared, and the hearts of everyone who was fortunate enough to know him.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend for visitation at the McINTOSH-ANDERSON-KELLAM FUNERAL HOME LTD., 152 King St., E., Oshawa (905-433-5558) on Friday, January 23rd from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. The funeral service will take place at Christ Memorial Church, 81 Hillcroft St., Oshawa, on Saturday, January 24th at 11 a.m. Interment Thornton Cemetery, Oshawa.
