Obituary of Joseph Tingley

Joseph S. Tingley Tingley, Joseph S. Endicott: Joseph S. Tingley passed away on Thursday, May 10, 2012. He was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Mary Tingley; his father-in-law, Douglas Grant. He is survived by his wife, Sally Grant Tingley; daughter Gina Marsh (Mike Marsh); son Douglas Tingley; grandchildren Jake and Vinny Marsh; mother-in-law Pat Grant; sister-in-law Debbie Sanders; sister Pat Babcock; nieces and nephews, Mike Goon, Donna DePersis, Chris Babcock, and Brandon Sanders; and very special great nieces and nephews, many friends and fellow golfers (you all know who you are). Joe fought cancer for many years; he said about cancer: "I'm going to beat it.It's not going to beat me." Joe was competitive in all he did - bowling, baseball, his job, cooking, and his love of golf. He was always concerned with everyone else even though he was very sick. He coached pee-wee football for many years and always donated his time to anyone who needed it.
