In memory of

Robert Norman Elford

October 5, 1945 -  May 16, 2025

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Elford on May 16, 2025 at the age of 79. Bob was born on October 5, 1945 in Toronto, Ontario to Frank and Rose (nee Picov) Elford.
Bob was known for being calm, kind, creative, meticulous and passionate about vehicles. His family meant everything to him.
Bob spent his early career as a mechanic at several Toronto area dealerships. He used his knowledge and interest in cars to modify and restore many vehicles as a hobby. Later, Bob worked on busses for 29 years at TTC. After retiring, he continued his passion of restoring and detailing classic cars at Bow Tie Farm in Grafton, Ontario.
Robert is survived by his sister Evelyn, brother Ivan (Ann Marie), nephew Steven, nieces Sheryl and Wendy, daughters Kelly (Steve), Krissy (Robert) and grandchildren Ethan and Kirsten.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider a donation to your local animal rescue or The Farley Foundation.

Bob was our neighbour in Whitby before he moved to Grafton, We shared our love for
classic cars, and spent a lot of time together at various car shows for many years. We always found Bob to be kind and soft spoken, and if he fixed his car or anyone's car, it was done right. We will miss him, and pray for needed strength at this difficult time for all the family.

My sincere condolences to the family.
Please know we are thinking of you at this time.
I had the pleasure of seeing Bob over the years
at family gatherings or just at Ivan and Ann Marie’s home. He was a big presence in their
family and am sure he will be greatly missed.
