Comedian Bob Elliott passed away yesterday at the age of 92.
Elliott is best known for his collaboration with Ray Goulding. The team of Bob & Ray met here in Boston in the 1940's as disc jockeys for competing stations. Their comedy act began to catch on when they did broadcast in rain delays during Red Sox games. Over the next four decades, Bob & Ray were a fixture on radio and TV and even on Broadway. Sadly, Goulding passed away in 1990.
However, Elliott carried on often performing with his son Chris Elliott most notably on the FOX TV show Get a Life.

He was fine in Groudhog Day. I guess he’ll have mixed feelings about that now.
This guy was before my time. But, like many of the 50s and early 60s comedians, he was funny as hell. His son is as well.
Rest in Peace and thanks for the laughs.
I agree with you.
RIP.
Slow...talkers...of... ...America. OMG, so funny.
RIP ---ly Ballou, Biff Burns, Tex Blaisdell, Arthur Sturdley, Johnny Braddock, Kent Lyle Birdley, Peter Gorey, and Harry Piel . . .
This is Ray Goulding reminding you to write if you get work . . . Bob Elliott reminding you to hang by your thumbs.
Original one-of-a-kind and a true and gifted genius.
R.I.P.
Thanks for countless hours of fun - enjoy your stay in heaven.
