Paul Ralph Ingersoll
1929-2016
It is with deep sadness that the family of Paul Ralph Ingersoll
announces his peaceful passing at the Grand Manan Hospital on November
15, 2016 in his eighty-eighth year. Paul was born in
Woodward’s Cove, Grand Manan on July 2, 1929, only son of
the late Belva Alice (Ingersoll) Muise, and brother to Mrs. Molly Jean
(Ingersoll) Barrett. He was also a dear uncle to nephews, Kerry Nason
of Grand Manan, Roger (Nancy) Nason of Fredericton and Dale (Cheryl)
Nason of Fort Fairfield, Maine. He was great uncle to Elsie (Jeff)
Hickey of Saint John; Ian Nason of Fredericton; Todd (Debbie) Nason of
Bedford, N.S.; Peter (Helene) Nason of Fredericton; Ben (Pam) Nason of
Fort Fairfield, Maine; Heidi Nason of Raleigh, North Carolina; and,
Sarah (Jackie) Kelley of Nashville, Tennessee, and their families.
Paul was pre-deceased by his brother in-law, Charles Barrett in
1998.
Paul was raised and lived his life on the original Nelson Ingersoll
homestead on the Shore Road in the Cove. From a very early age he went
to work in the family smoked fishing business and grew up around the
smoke houses that lined the Cove. As a jack-of-all-trades Paul turned
his hand at freighting with Ernest Griffin in the 1940s, building and
fishing weirs from Long Island to Duck Island in the 50s and 60s, or,
part of the crew at Morse’s, McLaughlin’s and
Look’s lobster pounds on the Thoroughfare. In between he was
frequently seen deep in the woods with late friend, Bertie Smith,
cutting and hauling winter wood. For enjoyment in summer he escaped
when he could to his secret blueberry patch along the shore or off to
White Head for gathering baked apples. And, of course, there was
always time for listening to bluegrass music.
Special thanks go out from the family for the excellent care he
received from Gail Ingersoll of Kindred Care who went above and
beyond. Also, gratitude to the Doctors and staff of Grand Manan
Hospital and the Ambulance Service for their caring
approach.
Visitation will take place in Grand Harbour at the Central Wesleyan
Church on Friday, November 18, 2016, beginning at 1:30 and funeral
service to follow at 2:30pm. Interment will follow at Maple Grove
Cemetery.
Donations in memory of Paul may be made to the Grand Manan
Rotary Club, Maple Grove Cemetery or to the donor’s
choice.
Arrangements are in the care of Ells Funeral
Home Inc., 1199 Route 776, Grand Manan, NB E5G 1G2.
