Harry Ingle Obituary
November 12, 1943 - January 29, 2024
Charlotte, North Carolina - Harry Boyd Ingle, II, age 80, passed away peacefully at Stewart Health Center of The Cyprus, Charlotte, N.C. after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease and Lewy Body dementia.
He is the son of the late Adelaide Fisher Ingle and Harry Boyd Ingle Sr.
He was born in Knoxville, Tennessee where his parents had moved for his father's Charlotte based mechanical engineering company, Hicks and Ingle Corporation, to work on The Manhattan Project. He graduated from Fork Union Military Academy, Fork Union, Virginia and attended Wake Forest University before serving in the United States Army.
After his military service, he returned to Charlotte and began a successful career as a Formula Vee, Formula Super Vee and Formula 5000 race car driver winning the SCAA Formula V National Championship in 1970, and the Formula Super V Championship and President's Cup in 1973.
After leaving racing, he ran Hicks and Ingle Corporation, Alpha Mechanical, and H&I Equipment Corporation. He loved the out-of-doors and hunting and fishing with his many friends. He was a kind, compassionate, truly good human being who will be missed by all who knew him.
Harry is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Geri Manning Ingle; his son, Harry Boyd Ingle III (Tripp); his grandson, Jalen Patrick Holland; his sister Mary Ingle Council (John), and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his beloved son, John Manning Ingle.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Stewart Health Center and VIA Health Partners Hospice for their outstanding care, compassion, and professionalism while Harry was in their care.

I only lately learned of Harry's death and I'm so sorry. When I knew him, in the 70's, he was still racing. He hired me as part of the Zink Mfg. team. He was a stand-up guy who treated everyone fairly and well. RIP Harry.

Geri, Tripp, Mary and extended family, my sincerest sympathies to you all on the loss of Harry. We were friends in our late teens and early to mid-twenties but then sort of lost touch. We would cross paths on occasion and catch up and then busy with our respective lives. I was present at John's funeral and had a long talk with Harry at that time. I have 2 sons 45 and 43 so I empathized with his pain. Harry was really a fine man with a great smile. I recall only to well traveling with a few others to some of Harry's races. Especially to a gymkhana in the N.C. mountains. I borrowed my brother's car for the trip and driving back with a vehicle full of people, the car got stuck in 2nd gear. I drove all the way back to Charlotte in 2nd gear. My brother still reminds me of that day. "May Harry's Memory Be Eternal" and I wish a long, healthy and prosperous life to Harry's loved ones left behind.
Peter

Oh Geri, I say again, I am crying with you. Without question, Harry is remembered by all of us lucky enough to be his friend as a wonderful, kind and gentle man... because he was. Integrity above reproach, a truly elite sportsman, a loving wife and family... he had it all and treated it properly and well. Harry will be greatly missed but we must thank God for sharing him with us for 80 years and then leaving us with such great and fond, forever memories. He assuredly rests in peace.
