The following tribute was presented by John McLaughlin
at Bob Ingle's funeral:

"Bob Ingle was a life-long friend of program evaluation. In the
early 1970's, he was one of the initiators the Evaluation
Network, a national organization of professionals interested
in the useful practice of program evaluation in public and
private settings. Bob was responsible for setting up and managing
all the national meetings of the Network and soon became one
of the central leaders in the field of program evaluation.

"One of the founding members of the American Evaluation Association
(AEA), an international organization for not only those who
practice evaluation, but also those who study and improve evaluation
practice, Bob Ingle served as the Annual Conference chair for the
first ten years of the organization's history. In his role as Annual
Conference Chair, Bob sat on the AEA Board and was an unceasing
advocate for member services. Whenever the Board proposed a change
Bob would ask the question, 'how would that benefit the members?'

"In recognition of Bob's contributions to the organization, AEA
established the Robert Ingle Service Award presented annually to a
member who has served as an outstanding resource to the organization.
Each recipient over the last 10 years has acknowledged that he or
she could never match Bob's contributions to AEA.

"The Annual Conference is the Flagship of the organization, serving
as a forum though which all those interested in the design and
practice of evaluation can present and discuss their thoughts
perceptions and ideas. Bob Ingle was dedicated to sustaining this
atmosphere of openness and collegiality. While Bob will be missed
by his many friends throughout the world, he will never be
forgotten. We were all blessed that the old curmudgeon was there
for us."
