I am Joe Ingoldsby - George’s nephew. He was a very cool and level headed uncle. When the Eaton Centre expanded to become flushed to Simpson’s department store in 1979, I would see Uncle George most weekday mornings during his and my coffee breaks at the newly opened Druxy’s. He would be amongst his colleagues from Bell Canada at a table and I would be with my colleagues from Simpson’s at another table. We would always exchange greetings and engage in some small talk. I left Simpson’s in 1984 and although I missed seeing Uncle George at those morning coffee breaks, it was always great to see him at family gatherings. RIP Uncle George.
