He was born January 22, 1953 in Mt. Clemens, Michigan to the late Wilfred and Alice (Herzig) Ingles. Tom married Susan Ziegenfelder on October 15, 1977 at St. Matthew Church in Detroit, Michigan.

Tom worked for 30 years at Ford Motor Co. as a sewing machine operator, working closely with the engineering department. He then went on to do his dream job of traveling all over the east coast in a big rig! He enjoyed occasionally bringing home seafood and live lobsters for friends and family. His passion in life was boating, either cruising the river and canals on his zodiac or sailing on his hobie cat, Leibchen or Shanarisa. He joined the Port Huron Yacht Club in 1998 and was an active sailor. He loved his “big” boat Shanarisa and took many cruises on her with friends and family.
