The post reads:
“Father, Husband, Grandan, Great Grandan, Brother, Uncle, Friend, Teacher, Inspirer, Mentor: May You Soar with the Angels. You will forever hold a special place in the deepest corners of our hearts. You were joy, light and love. Goodness at its very best. For the rest of our days, we will all do our best to continue to make you proud. Rest in peace and continue to spread your generous spirit in the heavens above. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“General Hospital” executive producer Frank Valentini confirmed the news on Twitter. He wrote: “We love him and will miss him. John will always be part of the #GH family.”
Ingle most recently appeared on the ABC soap just last week, reprising his role as patriarch Edward Quartermaine, a character he had played since 1993.
