Charles Ingulli

Charles F. (“Charlie”) Ingulli was born on Staten Island in 1923 to Charles and Agnes (Boylan) Ingulli. Baron, as he was known in his youth, left McKee High School to help support his family by working in the local shipyard until joining the Army Air Corps in 1943, eventually taking part in the Normandy invasion, landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day plus one. After returning home, he married his childhood sweetheart, Eleanor Panza in 1948. That same year, he joined the NYPD and rose through the ranks to Lieutenant of Detectives, where he led the Staten Island District Attorney’s detective squad for a decade. In 1986, he retired from the force and moved to Toms River with Eleanor.

Charlie was dedicated to his large, extended family. He and Eleanor were known for organizing numerous family picnics, day trips, reunions and visits. Charlie had a wonderful sense of humor and a calm, capable manner no matter what was happening. The entire clan depended on him for support, rides, and his ability to fix anything for them, from cars to appliances.

Charlie was predeceased by his brother Joseph Ingulli and sister Margaret DeHaven. He is survived by his wife, Eleanor, of Toms River, NJ; his three children – Elaine Ingulli (wife of Brian Ackerman) of Woodbury NJ, Robert Ingulli (husband of Kathy Krause) of Arizona and Diane Ingulli (wife of Gray McCord) of Georgetown Texas; two grandchildren, Aleia McCord of Wisconsin and Ashleigh McCord of North Carolina. Aleia and her husband, Matt Hutchison, are the parents of Charlie’s great-grandson and namesake, Charles Gray Hutchison. He is also survived by numerous beloved nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, and by his cousins, Charles Ingulli of Whiting, NJ, and Dorothy Ann Boylan Clark, of Yardley, Pennsylvania.
