Thomas William Ingram, affectionately known to many as "Willy" or "Pops," passed away on November 15, 2025, in Wilmington, Delaware. He was 95 years old.
Born on March 4, 1930, in Newcastle, Delaware, Thomas lived a long and full life rooted in family, service, and the simple joys that brought him happiness. He proudly served his country as a private in the United States Army, carrying with him the values of dedication and resilience throughout his life.
Thomas was a devoted husband to his late wife Francis and a loving father to his children—Robert, Bart, and Charlotte. His deep love for his family extended into every part of his life. Known by many as "Pops," he was also an awesome grandfather whose warmth and humor left lasting impressions on those around him.
He is remembered fondly by his surviving children: Robert, Bart, and Charlotte; and by his sister Pat Riley. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Francis; his brother Richard; and sisters Charlotte and Cathy.
A man of many passions, Thomas found great joy in boating—earning him the nickname "Captain Bill." Whether navigating open waters or sharing stories dockside, he embraced the freedom and peace that came with being on the water. He also had a lifelong love for horse racing and was an enthusiastic supporter of Philadelphia sports teams, especially the Phillies and Eagles.
To everyone who knew him—whether as Willy, Captain Bill, or Pops—Thomas was more than just a name. He was a presence: kind-hearted, spirited, and always ready with a smile or story. His legacy lives on in the memories shared by those fortunate enough to have known him.
May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing. A Service will be held on December 18, 2025 at Veterans cemetery 2465 Chesapeake city rd
