Richard David Ingalls, 83, from Seattle Washington passed away 8/23/16 in Seattle. He was born on 11/23/32 in Spokane, WA to Earl Serge and Genevieve (Gunderman) Ingalls. In 1956 he married Marjorie (Barry) Ingalls at St. James Cathedral in Seattle, WA. He was the first ever art major at a Jesuit University when he graduated from Seattle University in 1956. He earned his Master’s Degree from San Francisco University in 1960, and created the Art Department at Gonzaga University in 1962, where he was a professor for 17 years. For 53 years, together with his wife Marjorie, they owned and operated the highly successful Tourmap Company, which produced beautiful maps of cities all over the world.
He was a poet, an artist, a lecturer, a world traveler, a loving husband and father. He’s survived by his wife Marjorie: his daughters Pam Ingalls & Cynthia Rose Ingalls Smith and his faithful Old English Sheepdog, Tiffany. He was truly an inspiration. Dick, we miss you from the bottoms of our hearts.
His funeral service will be held at Seattle University’s Chapel of Saint Ignatius at 12 noon on Monday, August 29th, 2016. He will be buried at Haven of Rest, Gig Harbor, WA.
