Gilbert Pierce Inglis, ’28

Body

Gil Inglis died Jan. 7, 1995, in Montville, N.J. His secondary school years were at Barringer H.S. in Newark and at the Stonybrook School, of which he was the first graduate in 1923. At Princeton he majored in English. He went on to take his L.L.B. from Columbia Law School. He married Dorothy "Dolly" Y. Bosch in 1928. She died in 1990.

After her death, Gil moved from their home in Montclair to an apartment in East Orange, and then to the Changebridge Inn, a retirement community, in Montville. Gil was a faithful attendant at the annual class dinner in N.Y.C. and helped with the arrangements. He and Dolly attended many class reunions, including the 50th, 55th, and 60th.

Gil was a trust officer and v.p. of the Montclair Natl. Bank and Trust Co. (later taken over by Chemical Bank) and was trust consultant to the Bloomfield Savings Bank. He was also a partner in the law firm of Griggs, Baldwin, and Baldwin.

His chief avocation was playing bridge, and he was active in the Union League Club of New York, playing on the bridge team, chairman of the card committee, and president in 1972 and 1973.

The Class of '28 had great respect and affection for Gil and will miss his congenial friendship.
