Robert W. Ingold, born November 28, 1934 in Newton, KS to Walter Robert Ingold and Lora Margaret Ingold, died June 18, 2016 in Olathe, KS.

Bob received his Bachelors Degree in Music Education from the College of Emporia, Emporia, KS, and went on to earn his Masters Degree in Music Education, from Emporia State University, Emporia, KS.

He was a lifetime member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.
Bob taught both vocal and instrumental music, in grades k-12 in Kingsdown, KS, Matfield Greens, KS, and Afton, IA, as well as teaching 7-9th grade vocal music in the Shawnee Mission School District.

He was also a member of the Rolling Hills Presbyterian Church, where he sang in the choir.

Surviving him are his loving family including his wife of 61 years, Ruth A. Ingold, his children Russell Ingold, Ted (Jeanette) Ingold, Susan (Mark) Brooks, and John (Sheri) Ingold, grandchildren Stephanie (Jason) White, Joshua (Meagan) Ingold, Jarrod (Laura) Ingold, Mac and Sam Brooks, Erika and Cooper Ingold, step-son and step-daughter Chance and Lenzi Sudduth.
Also surviving are great-grandchildren Addison and Ethan White, and Carter Ingold, and step-great-grandson Liam Sudduth, his sisters and the families of Marjorie Denniston and Rosemary Manchester.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Friends of Music Committee, Rolling Hills Presbyterian Church, 9300 Nall, Overland Park, KS. (The FOM always hosts a reception after a concert and Bob would be the last to leave a buffet line so the hostesses probably knew Bob better than many of the members of the church), or to the Kansas City Chorale, 5601 Wyandotte, St. #412, Kansas City, MO 64113.
