Erik R. Ingebretson ’69

THE DEATH OF ERIK Ingebretson on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, 1993, represents a great loss to the many who cherished his life. A native of Portland, Oreg., Erik prepared at Jefferson H.S. He majored in sociology, and roomed senior year with David Weinberger, Bob Durkee, Steve Tracy, and Steve Buser. He earned a master's in urban planning from the Univ. of Oregon.

An employee of the Oregon Dept. of Transportation for 21 years, at the time of his death, Erik was the rightofway supervisor. Says a colleague: "We always counted on Erik to be sure our decisions were best for our people and for our customers. He was our conscience. He was the best we had."

EriVs abiding sense of humanity was reflected both in his devotion to his family and his deep commitment to his church. His creative streak found an outlet in writing plays and musical comedies for church programs. Erik's interests were many and varied. He spoke Japanese, French, and Norwegian. Erik reminisced often about his Princeton experiences and remembered classmates with fondness.

He took delight in his beloved family, Peter, Bricta and Kristaand, in his wife, Cindy. We share wit~ the Ingebrerson family both sadness at this loss and gratitude for a life well lived.
