Carl F. Ingwalson

—   Carl F. Ingwalson, born in Mankato, Minnesota, on September 18, 1914, died in Arizona, on June 5, 2012.  He is survived by sons Carl Jr. of San Diego, California, and Jared Ingwalson of Littleton, Colorado, their wives Wilma and Brenda, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

  Carl graduated from Mankato Senior High School in1932, attended Gustavus Adolphus College and, after taking time off to earn money for university, graduated in 1937 with a degree in civil engineering from Purdue University where he was a member of Delta Tau Delta and Chi Epsilon honor society.  After a career with National Tube Co. and Dravo Corporation, he retired from Rieth-Riley Construction Company in 1985.  During World War II, he was assigned by the U.S. Navy to supervise construction of LSTs at the Wilmington, Delaware, shipyard.

  In 1940 he married Julia Bliss in Columbus, Ohio, a marriage of forty-three wonderful years.  Julia died in 1983.  In 1985 he married Marian Cappel in Elkhart, Indiana, and they enjoyed twenty-three happy years until her death in 2008.  

  As a boy in Mankato he was taught by his father how to curl, a sport he pursued many years later in Elkhart. Carl was an avid golfer, enjoyed many vacations abroad, and was an accomplished wood and jewelry craftsman.

  Always a gentleman, Carl had a keen sense of humor, was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, and will be missed by all who knew him.
