Peacefully at Headwaters Health Care Centre, Orangeville, on Thursday, November 26, 2020, John Thomas Ingoldsby, at the age of 92 years, beloved husband of Violet Ingoldsby (nee Aitchison). Loving father of Larry and his wife Carol (deceased) Crang, Linda and her husband Stephen Knight. Cherished grandfather of Kirby (Erin), Cory (Farrah), Kristy (Darrell), and Jake. Proud great-grandfather of Chelsea, Tanner, Chase, Dean, Carlee, Charlea, and Emily. Dear brother of Margaret Quittenton (deceased) and Jean Chapman.
The Ingoldsbys were one of the founding families of Peel Region. They were pioneers who settled on a 100-acre farm at the corner of Heart Lake Road and Countryside Drive in 1828. John was a fifth generation farmer. After retiring from farming, he pursued many passions including travelling, hunting, curling and long-range sharp shooting. Over the years he was a member of the Canadian and Ontario Rifle Teams. He competed all over the world including England, Kenya, Australia and South Africa. In celebration of their success, he and his teammates attended the Queen’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in 1995. Most of all, he loved being on the farm, with his wife Vi, tinkering with machinery in the barn or downstairs in his gunroom and celebrating with family, friends and neighbours. We will miss the little, mischievous chuckle that he had in his voice.
He spent the last few years at the Montgomery Village in Orangeville making many new friends. After he reluctantly stopped driving a car he switched to a power scooter. He could often be found around Orangeville having a quadruple-quadruple coffee at Starbucks, visiting a family of geese at a nearby pond and, of course, smoking a cigar. The family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team at Montgomery. And finally, to the doctors and nurses on E-Wing at Orangeville Hospital your love and care will not be forgotten.
Due to the global pandemic, a private family funeral service will be held at Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy. 50), Bolton (905-857-2213).
Interment Caledon East Public Cemetery.
If desired, memorial donations may be made to Headwaters Health Care Foundation.

In 1979 John and Vi were members of the Canadian Goodwill Rifle Team to Kenya alluded to in the obituary on which I also served as the youngest member. I have fond memories of that trip, especially the social affairs included. John was an outgoing gregarious addition to that team and remained a friend over the years as he pursued his rifle shooting hobby. He will be missed by his many friends and acquaintances in our sport. RIP, John.
The Ontario Rifle Association sends condolences to the entire Ingoldsby family. John was a great supporter of the rifle scene in Ontario and Canada. He will be greatly missed. Condolences are also sent from Edith Vamplew, personally.
Our sincere condolence to all John’s family. He will be truly missed by many.. He and Vi were good friends to us. We looked forward to his car coming in the lane with a new story or to catch up on what was new in our lives. John is at home with Vi and looking over all of us. God Bless All
Larry, Don and I send our sincere condolences and prayers for you and your family. With time, may your sorrows be lightened and replaced with fond memories of your father. May God give each of you the comfort you need at this time.
Larry, Linda and families,
Our condolences on the passing of John. A great neighbour for many years who on occasion would stop by for a friendly visit. Also spending time at ORO in Florida enjoying the warm winters. Our thoughts are with you. Cherish your memories.
