Ray Reinard Sr.
Ray Reinard Sr. of Doylestown and formerly of Jenkintown and New Hope, died peacefully at his home on Tuesday, October 20, 2020. He was 90.
Ray was the loving husband of the late Vivian M. Purdy Reinard with whom he had shared 65 years of marriage until her death in 2016.
Born in Philadelphia he was a son of the late Roy Reinard Sr. and Dorothy Krebs Reinard and the twin brother of the late Roy Reinard, Jr. and brother of the late Jane Burke.
Ray graduated from Frankford High School and went on to serve proudly in the United States Army during the Korean War. He began his career as a builder and carpenter and eventually would go on to take the reins of his family’s insurance business, Reinard Insurance, along with his twin brother, Roy Jr. He would remain there for over 40 years until his retirement.
Ray was an avid collector of antiques and he and Vivian loved to build their collection. They also enjoyed various vacation homes throughout the years and had fun furnishing and decorating them. Together they travelled all over, one of their most favorite destinations being Long Beach Island, NJ where Ray had some of his happiest moments with family and friends.
