Peter R. Elliott

Pete, truly a man for all seasons. If more people would meet, greet, and treat people the way Pete always did, this would be a much more joyful world. Blessings to the all who knew and respected him.

I met Pete when he was at the University of Miami and I was a young sportscaster at the local CBS affiliate. He was then and remained one of the nicest and kindest human beings I've ever known. Pete always made you feel you were important to him and that he valued your friendship. I certainly valued his and will miss him greatly.

Bruce and David, I send my sincere condolences. Pete was my great friend and roommate at Sigma Chi in 1948. Pete was just "great" in every way, humble yet successful in all he did. He touched everyone with his gracious manner and made one brightened by his personality. At the 1998 Rose Bowl reunion of the 1947 Michigan team before my family members he said I was "Michigan's best quarterback ever pound for pound," which was preposterous, but much appreciated. I will miss Pete so much and his...

My deepest symathies go to the Coach Pete Elliot family,I had the great pleasure of playing for Coach at the U of I. Hewas a very great man and very honest.I wish I could be with you Friday to remeber a great man's life,but I am in treatment for cancer and I must attend a treatment in Peoria. I will be thinking of him and will say prayer for him. Again he was one of the greatest men in my life.

Bruce and Dave, My prayers and thoughts are with you and your families. Your Dad was a special guy and had a big influence on my life. He will be missed but never forgoten. Geoff

To the former head football coach of the University of Nebraska. Your year as the head coach will be remembered as a positive influence on the Cornhusker history. Thank you for your dedication and service....you will be remembered.

Dave and Bruce :
I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great guy. He remained a great friend to my mom and dad until their deaths. Joanie and Pete were a great team.

On behalf of my family, our deepest sympathies to The Elliot Family for the loss of their beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. Our father, Jack Raymond, must certainly have known both Pete and Bump from their days at Purdue in 1943 and 1944 and perhaps beyond. Though all three went their separate ways after their service in World War II, Pete's and Bump's names were always prominent as Dad and I would listen to (or watch a rare telecast) Wisconsin Badger football games...

Coach,
RIP
