Born in Detroit, Michigan, he was the son of the late Charlie V.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Donna Messer and a brother, Wayne Elliot.

Bobby is survived by his devoted wife Marsha; his loving son, Jonathan Elliott and grandson, John Robert Elliott, whom he adored. He is also survived by his siblings, Larry Elliott(Millie), Dottie Elliott, Judy Becknell, Gail Elliott and Terri Elliott; several nieces and nephews and his special buddy, Peggy Jones.
