Ingerman, age 81, of Boca Raton, FL and Philadelphia, passed away peacefully at his home in Philadelphia on August 4th, 2019, after a battle with cancer of the pan- creas and lung. A native of Philadelphia, Ira grew up in Wynnefield and attended Over- brook High School. He graduated from Temple University in 1959 with a degree in accounting and went on to practice as a CPA with Bernstein & Salkind until he formed a business partnership with Stanley Ginsburg in 1969. Through this relationship, Ira served as President of Arrow Display Company and Sparks as well as Magic Marker Corporation. Later in his career, he was involved in real es- tate development and management through their company, Equivest Develop-ment Inc. Although quite successful professionally, Ira's greatest accomplishment was as a hus- band, father and grandfather to his large and very close-knit family. Known to his 14 grandchildren as Poppop, he traveled between Boston, New York and Philadelphia frequently and hosted many gatherings so he could spend time with the people that meant the most to him. Ira was a longtime support- er of Ben Gurion University of the Negev and served on the Board as Treasurer for the American Associates of Ben Gurion Uni- versity and was a member of the Board of Governors of the university. He and his wife Eileen were benefactors of the Ginsburg-In- german Overseas Student Program (OSP) for the last 40 years with his partner Stanley Ginsburg and his wife. This immersive study abroad program brought students to Ben Gurion University of the Negev to deepen their knowledge and exposure to Israel and its people while studying a variety of challen- ging academic subjects. He also established a separate endow-ment for scholarships for Israeli students. Ira was also a major contrib- utor to a number of other Jewish charities, namely Jewish Federation of Greater Phil- adelphia as well as a longtime supporter of other educational and health care related causes. His desire to give back will continue through the programs he has so generously established. Ira is survived by his wife of 42 years, Eileen Ingerman (nee Gross), his chil- dren Randi Ingerman (husband Richard Clev- eland), Cindy Ingerman Balick, Elliott Inger- man (wife Linda Ingerman), Gregory Stein (wife Brooke Stein) and Amy Wood (hus- band Travis Wood); his 14 grand-children, Michelle Cleveland, Matthew Balick (Nicole Goroshovsky), Bryan Cleveland, Jack Balick, Chase Balick, Max Ingerman, Jesse Inger- man, Jonah Stein, Remi Ingerman, Dylan Stein, Charlie Stein, Zachary Wood and Zoe Wood.

Born July 25, 1926 in Philadelphia, he was the second son of Levi (Louis) and Mirke (Mary) Podel. In 1942, at the age of 16, Jack joined the Civil Air Patrol, hoping to be- come a pilot. His vision was too poor for him to follow that dream, but not for the infantry. In 1944, Jack was drafted into the Army and soon found himself on the other side of the world. On May 12, 1945 he was wounded in the Philippines. Before his release from the hospital in July, the day before his 19th birth- day, he was awarded the Purple Heart. Re- turning to Philadelphia, Jack went to work at the Philadelphia Navy Ship Yard and later in Trenton, NJ as a civilian for the Navy and the Defense Industrial Supply Center (DISC) as a mechanic on experimental jet engines. As his father had been an immigrant from Russia, Jack was considered a security risk and was not allowed to work on classified projects. That didn’t stop the engineers from calling on him when they needed his expertise. On March 24, 1951 Jack married the love of his life, Miriam Ellis. By the end of that year, they had started their family with the birth of their son, Robert. In the years that followed, they welcomed another son, Terry, and a daugh- ter, Roslyn. In 1978, Jack, Miriam, and Terry relocated to Phoenix, where Jack worked at Garrett/AIResearch as a government QA in- spector for military projects. After his retire- ment, Jack enjoyed playing tennis, visiting Sedona, and for many years was a volunteer in the Glendale Elementary School District. Jack is survived by sons Bob (Karen), Terry, daughter Lynn (Bill) Gangloff, and four grandchildren all of Phoenix. He was pre- ceded in death by his wife Miriam and his brother Nathan z”l.
