- He was genuinely interested in people and everything that was going on... his dressing room door was always open, and many of us would find our way there to pick his brain and, in turn, he would lend an ear and offer his wisdom. Always the professional, after his first surgery he was worried about whether 'Edward' would wear a cap. I for one, will miss that cap, because he wore it well. But above all I will miss him, and especially his wonderful smile.-- Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine)
A great husband. A great father. A great friend. A great actor. A great man. We love you John.-- Steve Burton (Jason Morgan), who posted a photo of Ingle's dressing room door
