My condolences to the family and community of Bishop Bob Ellison. He served in the Gambia for many years. During a brief stay there I remember how he kept the flock together, organised Gospel Reflection and ministered to the community. May he rest in peace.

May Bobby enjoy the happiness of heaven.
I enjoyed his guidance and support for a number of years in the 70's in Kimmage. He was caring with a gentle challenge when necessary.
My sympathy to his family and friends
May the memories of him continue to inspire us.

The Christian Panorama joins Gambians both home and abroad in mourning the demise of the Bishop Emeritus; Robert Patrick Ellison. It's never easy to lose someone who has dedicated his life in the service of God and humanity. May his memory bring comfort during this difficult time. May his legacy continue to inspire and guide those who follow in his footsteps. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and everyone affected by this loss.

Heartfelt condolences to the Holy Ghost Fathers, the family and friends of the late Bishop Ellison who served in my homeland of The Gambia and was a close family friend. We thank God for his services to our nation and I personally thank him for his spiritual guidance in my life.
May his gentle soul rest in eternal glory ++++++
