Robert ELLIOTT Obituary

It was my pleasure to know and work with Bob Elliott both in Adelaide and Auckland over many years. He was an outstanding paediatrician and researcher and a very good friend. His work with Mike Stirling (PhD0 led to a non-surgical approach to closing a patent ductus artiosus which was causing the newborn's heart to fail. His publications in diabetes mellitus and cysytic fibrosis were extensive. My condolences to Betsy and the children.

My condolences and special thoughts to Betsy and family. My last memory of Bob is when Betsy and Bob came for dinner many years ago. An amazing evening which is held close in my heart.

My thoughts are with you the Elliott family, what a difference Bob made during his lifetime of dedication to a cause you could see he was so passionate about. So proud to work beside you at LCT, what an inspiration. Rest In Peace, your work is done. xx

Memories of the kindest, most generous, funny gentleman, with a wicked sense of humour. You made the world a so much better place , you will be missed forever. Sharyn Dodds

Sorry to see such a fantasist person has left us. We worked with Bob (Prof) on the Childhood Diabetes Transplant Research Trust. Our Daughter Nicole Turner was the first to receive a pig islet transplant. Our sincere condolences to Betsy and family.

It was a privilege for me to be witness Sir Bob's work on xenotransplantation. The scientific community has lost a great mind and tireless worker. My thoughts are with you all, his family. With love, Holly Perry.
