Opa loved the outdoors joining his children and grandchildren in many camping adventures. He enjoyed jazz and classical music, reading, and philosophy. Ingold was a wise, caring, calm presence in our lives, keeping his sense of humour even in tough times. Thank you to 3 South Grace Hospital staff for their kindness and care given to our papa. A private family service will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 200 – 6 Donald Street, Winnipeg, MB R3L 0K6.   As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on December 06, 2011
