Paul Ingalls

I met Paul and Jean in the fall of 2004 on a transAtlantic voyage under sail on the Star Clipper. We kept in touch all these years via our Christmas letters. I will be forever grateful to Paul for telling me about the Aubrey/Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian.

While writing my Christmas cards this year, I found the last Christmas letter we got from Paul, which was actually addressed to my father, Mike DiBello (who lived with me for the last 12 years of his life). We loved the stories and his and Jean's great wit and insight. Lia DiBello

So sorry to learn of Paul´s passing. We didn´t know him well, but my parents certainly did! My dad was Jean´s cousin. They often talked about their days together at St. Lawrence. We´ve kept in touch right up until last year with Christmas cards. We loved his yearly letters. They´re keepers! Rina Bell (daughter of Mike DiBello)

My dad, Dick Carmer, always spoke so highly of Paul Ingalls. He advised him to check out East Aurora when looking for a town to settle in. Wonderful place to grow up. My thoughts are with you.

Such fond memories of Uncle Paul and Aunt Jean and their warmth, humor and hospitality. A long life worth celebrating.

Thank you for your very brave service to our country! We owe our lives to the WW ll vets

Kevin and I send our condolences. You all will be in our thoughts on Friday as you celebrate his remarkable life. With love, Debbie Baum and Kevin McCardle
