My deepest condolence to Dikcs family. I worked with Dick at the Greenville plant in the early 90's. He was a great guy, easy to get a long with, liked to laugh, and would do anything to help the operation. Dick will be missed.

Stacy & Jerry What a lousy time of year to go thru all of this. Go ahead and be sad, its what you must do at this time of loss, you can not heal if you do not grieve. I pray that you get thru your future Christmas Seasons with less and less pain. You have heard the saying,"TIS THE SEASON REMEMBER THE REASON". You will be sad for your dad but just think he is up there actually seeing the "Reason for the Season" How great can that be.

Carol, we were very sorry to hear about Dick. We've been back in the US since July but somehow the news that he was sick evaded us. Anyhow, his was a life well appreciated by everyone who had the opportunity to know him. There ain't no replacing that guy. Take Care, Gary and Lynn.

Dear Carol, Stacy, Jerry and Michelle, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Ingrim. My dad called to tell me about his passing and told me that Hospice was there for the family. I hope that it gave you some peace to be able to spend the time with him at home with such wonderful care. I will always remember Mr. Ingrim at our softball games and at the sleepovers at your house. He was the quiet, funny guy. Stacy, I think about you often. May you lean on God and your family during this difficult time. Love, Kim

Mrs. Ingrim, Stacy and Michelle, I have to say that when Michelle called me and said Mr. Ingrim was not doing well, I was in shock! It's hard to think that someone so good and so strong could leave so soon. I have many, many fond memorys of spending time with your family. Mr. Ingrim's sense of humor could not be matched by anyone! I am so sorry for your loss! The world lost a great person! If you need anything I am just a call away. Love, Teresa, Chris and Faith Burnett and Jordon, Gracie Zamora

We love all of you and our hearts break for you. We loved every minute we spent together. Whether it was a family gathering or just the four of us, it was always "a good time was had by all."

Your dad was a wonderful uncle. I always knew I would be having fun when he was around--whether we went swimming in the lake or trying to teach me golf (hilarious), or going to Dairy Queen. I remember how scared he made me when I wanted to swim in a creek and he told me it had leeches in it. I still think about that. I have some very fond memories and I will miss him greatly. Love, Tyra Gonzales

To The Ingrim Family: First let me say that I am truly sorry for your loss your family is enduring. The loss felt by your family is a loss that is known by all who knew Dick. This world is less bright without his presence. In Dick's working environment he exhibited a level of professionalism that is unmatched, especially when the cards were stacked against him. I worked closely with Dick as Electrolux shutdown and that was the last time that I spoke with him. During the shutdown Dick never strayed from his character, he was strong and courageous. I was so impressed there are not very many people that would stay around to the very end of a shutdown the way he did. The manner in which Dick faced challenges really exemplified how all humans should walk through life. Personally, I have a clear picture of how to handle challenges because of Dick. It was an honor to work with someone with such a high level of professionalism and character.
