Gerald Ingels Obituary

He retired from Methode Electronics in 2000. He enjoyed traveling, mountain hiking, gun collecting, nature, animals, history, and politics.

I am 80 years old and still salute His picture almost daily. His picture is on the wall in my home in California and also in my home in Thailand. I will never forget him.

GERALD is always in my memories. I still salute his picture almost every day when I pass it. It´s an 8 x 10 photo of him in the military. He saved my life many times. In my flashbacks, I see him pulling me up off the ground. When I look at his picture, I always feel that I wouldn´t be here today if he wasn´t a great human being that he was. Michael H Goldberg
