Ray was born on August 17, 1936 at Tyler, ND to Edward and Luella (Sikorski) Hingst. He grew up in the Great Bend, ND area and graduated from St. Francis Academy in Hankinson in 1954.
Ray served for twenty years in the U.S. Navy. After retiring from the Navy he moved to Anchorage, Alaska and worked for Sealand. He most recently was living at Twin Town Villa in Breckenridge, MN.
Ray was a great story teller and shared many stories about his Alaska and Great Bend fishing and hunting days. He liked gardening, cooking and traveling. He was an avid reader and would enjoy reading a seed catalog as much as a suspense novel. The Leach Library staff members were special friends to Ray.
