    Mr Ingle was a wonderful teacher who made learning fun! We may have been his first classroom after graduation not sure. Way way back at Tuxedo Elementary. Everyone loved him! May the memories you shared comfort you in the days and months ahead.

    What a sweet soul. I loved Mr. Ingle. He was one of my favorite teachers from Valley Hill, and remembered me 30+ years later when I saw him in the grocery store. Your family is in my prayers.
