Send us a text

In this very special episode of Off the Gravel Road, host Robb Ellis sits down with his father, Bob Ellis, to capture a remarkable life story. From growing up in Massachusetts with deep roots in Prince Edward Island, to serving in the Coast Guard, building a career in construction and consulting, and even running the Arlington Inn in Vermont, Bob shares the experiences that shaped him across nearly nine decades.

Alongside tales of hard work and adventure, he reflects on 57 years of marriage, raising three sons, and the pride of watching his family grow to include grandchildren and great-grandchildren. With wisdom, humor, and honesty, Bob offers a perspective on how America has changed, what has stayed the same, and the lessons he hopes future generations will carry forward.

This episode is more than family history — it’s a legacy of resilience, love, and the values that stand the test of time.
