It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of William Charles Tingley on March 27, 2019.

Bill was born in Bradford, PA on June 13, 1936. As a young man he excelled in marksmanship and was an avid sportsman. He spent the last 30 years in Tampa, Florida. He enjoyed golfing, fishing, playing cards, traveling and of course his sports teams, the Lightning and Rays but most of all he loved his wife Nancy, the love of his life and high school sweetheart for 65 years and of course his family. He was a true family man, he took pride in his work accomplishments—working many years for Lockheed Martin Aerospace—but he lived for his family. We live by his example of family first. Family was so important to him. He was always so excited and enthralled in all of our happenings. We will miss his guidance, love and support. His presence in our daily lives and most of all his voice, smile and hug every time you saw him. He was our family’s rock, and we will forever miss him.
