Bob was born December 19, 1955, in Ponca City, OK, to Clyde Leroy and Barbara Sue (McClure) Elliott. He grew up in Ponca City and attended Ponca High. He worked for many years as a welder and pipefitter. His career allowed him the opportunity to be the explorer he was. His job also led him to travel to places he would have never chosen to visit, which he grew to love very much. Bob also worked at SMI in Magnolia, AR

Bob was an avid golfer and was constantly active. He has been described as an opportunistic collector. He enjoyed collecting antiques and “junking”. Being a collector of many things, as well as being a creative thinker, Bob loved turning “nothing into something”. One of his favorite collections, was the autographs of three Heisman Trophy winners from the University of Oklahoma. He enjoyed collecting arrowheads, glass, crystals and anything else he found interesting. His green thumb and adventurous spirit, recently led him to become a Marijuana grower. He was also very political, spending many hours in debate with his brothers and friends.

Bob was a proud member of UA Local 430, Tulsa, OK, DeMolay International and the Keystone Baptist Church in Sand Springs. Above all else, he loved his family very much and looked forward to family gatherings.
