John Inglis Obituary
John Hollis Inglis age 92, of Fillmore, passed away peacefully on Dec. 30, 2008, at Santa Paula Hospital of natural causes.
John was born on July 29, 1916, in Bolivar, Mo. His parents were Orville and Nellie Inglis.
He was preceded in death by his wife of over 63 years, Harvelda.
He is survived by his children, John, Iris, and Guy. He had 12 grandchildren and five great grandchildren, whom he loved very much.
John graduated from Santa Paula High School. He was first team on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. He truly had a passion for sports. He retired from the Port Hueneme Naval Base as a manager of the base pool. He also drove a truck for Max Rudolph trucking in Santa Paula as a part-time job.
John really loved the outdoors. Whether it be fishing, camping, or hunting, he always enjoyed participating in outdoor activities. You could always find him cheering in the stands in support of his children’s and grandchildren’s sport activities. John will be greatly missed by his family and friends. His family would like to thank the Santa Paula Memorial Hospital. Their patience and kindness was strongly appreciated. There will be a graveside service for family only. We love you, Grandpa, and you will never be forgotten.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Santa Paula High School Cardinal athletic department. Written by one of his great granddaughters, Natasha Inglis.

My sincere condolences to the family of John Inglis.
I first met John in March 1969 where I worked in the Transportation Div of the Public Works Dept at the PorHue base. He was always friendly and had very kind words for me. My late dad, Perry Davison, was also born in Bolivar MO.
After I retired in 2001, I'd still got to talk to John during shopping trips to Rite-Aid in Fillmore. He was still spry and very sharp the last time I saw him in 2006 before I moved to Colorado.
