Editing Bob and Ray (section)

==Later lives==
Ray Goulding became ill in the late 1970s, suffering from kidney disease and enduring regular dialysis treatments. He was forced to adjust his working schedule to accommodate his regimen of hospital visits and treatments. Goulding refused to consider a kidney transplant, preferring to continue leading his life as he had been. Because of the new demands on Goulding's time, the team could no longer accept daily radio jobs or extensive advertising campaigns. This reduced their workload somewhat, but the team continued to work together for another decade, as outlined above.

Ray Goulding died on March 24, 1990. Elliott continued to perform, most notably with his son (actor/comedian [[Chris Elliott]]) on the TV sitcom ''[[Get a Life (American TV series)|Get a Life]]'', on episodes of ''[[Newhart]]'', ''[[LateLine]]'' and ''[[Late Night with David Letterman]]'', in the films ''[[Cabin Boy]]'' (also with son Chris) and ''[[Quick Change]]'', and on radio for the first season of [[Garrison Keillor]]'s ''American Radio Company of the Air''. Chris would join the cast of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' for season 20 in 1994, and his daughter [[Abby Elliott|Abby]] also joined the cast midway through season 34 in 2009, marking three generations of Elliotts appearing on the show.

Bob and Ray were inducted into the [[National Radio Hall of Fame]] in 1995. Many of their shows are available for listening at [[Paley Center for Media|The Paley Center for Media]] in [[New York City|New York]] and [[Los Angeles]]. The Paley Center has such a large collection of Bob and Ray tapes that many of these remained uncatalogued for years.

Bob Elliott died on February 2, 2016, a victim of throat cancer.
