Obituary

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Wojciech Inglot, a Polish chemist and businessman who founded and ran a cosmetics company, Inglot, which grew into an international success with nearly 400 stores in 50 countries, has died. He was 57.

A longtime friend of Inglot's who works with the company, Mariusz Ziomecki, told The Associated Press that Inglot died unexpectedly Saturday after suffering internal hemorrhaging. He was rushed to a hospital in Przemysl, the eastern Polish city where he ran a factory that produced his cosmetics, but doctors couldn't save him.

A chemist by education, Inglot founded his company in 1983, when Poland was still under communist rule. In recent years he oversaw an expansion of the business. His nail polishes, eye shadows and other cosmetics are sold in stores worldwide, including at Macy's in New York.

Not sure what to say?

It has been many years since my cousin has passed, but I still find comfort in reading about him. Somewhere I have stored away all the letter he wrote me while we were both in college. I have beautiful pictures of the times we visited in Przemysl. I just regret that we fell out of touch but I am so proud of his success and legacy. My prayers still for his family.

To the family,may you be comfort at knowing John %:28...

I feel in love with this brand immediately, and the person behind it Mr. Inglot. I hoped to one day be able to meet him, and to thank him for giving me my first ever makeup love. I want to say even though i never got to meet him personally, i love to hear from makeup artist how nice he was, and became even more excited that one day i could be behind his dream, and share atleast one moment with him. he will be missed, and it made me extremely sad to here i would never come face to face with...
