Yeingst and his wife Debra of Middleboro and Robin R. Willis and her husband Sean of Rockland. He was the beloved and cherished grandfather to Eric (wife Allie) Yeingst and Noah Yeingst and Greta and Ben Willis, who all loved their "Pop Pop" very, very much. Ray will also be lovingly remembered and missed by his companion of the past several years Helen Weinberg.

Ray was a proud graduate of Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove Pennsylvania where he played on both the Football and Baseball teams. A longtime resident of Hanover, Ray was an active, longtime member of the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Hanover, having served as the church treasurer for 26 years.
