Robert E. "Bob" Elwell

Great high school ballplayer! During an Amherst/Arms Academy game with a tie score in the bottom of the last inning, the Amherst catcher walked out to talk to his pitcher without calling a time out. Bob had reached 3rd base at this point of that inning. So, Bob stole home! Headlines read, and I, paraphrasing, "Elwell steals home while Amherst team talks"! What a memory, Bob! Dale Alden, Class of `57

Memory of Bob was when playing in an Arms Academy baseball game vs. Amherst, he made 3rd base and stole home as the catcher didn't call time out for his trip to the mound to converse with the Amherst High School pitcher. His gregarious personality and smile created so much fun to be around! Dale Alden, Class of '57

So sorry to hear of Bob´s passing. He was my cousin and I remember him well. May he rest in peace. Linda (Coutu) Smith

My sincerest condolences to the entire Elwell family. My heart goes out to you & pray that you find peace at this difficult time.

As a long time Family friend I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Elwell. While Growing up in Greenfield I spent quite a bit of time at the Elwell´s and have many fond memories of those times spent together. Those times were always a big treat to look forward to for me. One fond memory I will share is how Mr. Elwell taught me how to dive "perfect" off the diving board in his backyard swimming pool. I never forgot that moment as he drilled it into me until i did it perfect! My...

My sincere sympathy to all Bob's family.

My Condolences go out to you all.Debbie,Patti,Jimmy and Lorainne and Families

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I grew up on a dairy farm in West Deerfield (Eddie Gibbs') in the 1960s. I just have fond memories of the nice man named Bobby who came to pick up the milk, and send Christmas cards with daughter's pictures. He was a good man. I am sorry for your loss.
