I´ll never forget the evening that Paul, Rita and I went drinking at at Gullifty´s. They introduced me to Long Island ice tea(s). What a concept- to go drinking with one´s father! We had a blast!!

Dear Mimi: I learned of Paul's death from Ralph Earle who had just attended his funeral. What a shock and how sad I was to learn the news.
Paul's humor was a delight . I loved the way he delivered it, holding a straight face for as long as he could hold it and then breaking up. Such fun he was !!
I am sad too that we lived in different cities and that the two of you rarely came back up to Northeast Harbor. I hope there is a next life where we can correct that.
My affection to you as you go through the next few months. Mike Peabody

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was a pleasure to get to know Mr Ingersoll and your family and it was an honor and pleasure to help care for him. One could see how his strength touched everyone he met.
Take care.

Dear Mimi, Francie, Rita and Lea,
I am so very sorry to learn of Paul's death. Every time I saw him, he was welcoming, warm, filled with the joy of life-- it felt good to be in his presence. Beyond my personal sense of loss, I speak also on behalf of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts-- he was a great friend to the Academy through the years, and we shall miss him. Deepest condolences, and warmest regards, Gale Rawson (Devon PA)

I'll always remember Paul's big arm hugs, (comforting for a 5' tall person), his enthusiasm for all efforts we undertook together, his loving banter with Mimi, and his love for people in need. His spirit lives on at the Church of the Advocate...a true friend to so many.

Dear Mimi and family,

Sally and I were deeply sorry to receive word of Paul's passing. He is truly one of the finest men I have ever known and it was a special honor and privilege to have worked for him during our Provident/PNC days many years ago. His character, warmth, kindness and welcoming manner will never be forgotten. God bless him and you always.

Fondly, Dick Bauer

I am very sad to learn that My Boss and Good Friend Paul has passed away. In my 40+years at Provident National Bank (PNC), we had many Presidents. Paul was the best and we all loved him. He was a leader, who motivated performance, and also enjoyed being part of the work. He was a true people person. I have, and will continue to have, many fond memories of the "big guy". Paul called me "Groovy" Garvin and it never went away.
My prayers and condolences to Mimi and the Ingersoll Family.

Dear Mimi:
I was saddened to hear of Paul's passing. He always seemed ageless to me. I never saw him without a wonderful smile, and I was always impressed at how genuinely interested he was in other people. He was a Gentleman in every sense of the word. You were such a handsome couple.A minister friend said to me many years ago when my Father passed, that "when people are alive, they are outside of us.When they pass, they are forever within our hearts." I took great comfort in those words. I hope you can as well. How wonderful it is that you both had so many years of happiness together.
Blessings,
Sam Chew

Dear Mimi,
We are very sorry to hear that you have lost your wonderful husband Paul. We will remember him being a very very kind and gentle man and a dear friend of the ATCA since we met eachother at the European tour in the Netherlands in 2003. We will never forget his smiling face on the boattrip in Dresden while the orchestra was playing. We think of the both of you. Love from Lourens and Ria.

It was with great sadness that our family learned that Paul Ingersoll had left us. The "jingle" of his jester hat will always be remembered but will always be missed at Allentown.

Mimi & Family: Please accept my sincere condolences on Paul's death. We worked closely together when he was chairman and I was president of the Mutual Assurance Company. He was a pleasure to know and to work with, as genial a gentleman as anyone I ever met. He will long be remembered.
