Thomas H. Yeager, 60, of Lancaster, died Thursday, March 14, 2013, at Hospice & Community Care on Good Drive. Born in Columbia, he was the son of the late Irvin and Pearl Ziegler Yeager. He was married to Joanne R. Yeager.

Tom graduated from Columbia High School in 1970, and earned his Bachelor's Degree in Quantitative Business Analysis from Penn State in 1975. He worked in sales and design in the wood and pallet business, retiring as co-owner of McConnell Enterprises, a manufacturer of wooden boxes in Southern York County.

He was an avid Penn State, Steelers and Eagles football fan. Tom enjoyed wood working, camping and relaxing. He never found an RV he couldn't drive and had great times camping at the beach, Penn State, the Bush and Susquehanna Rivers, and visiting distant friends. A NASCAR fan, his favorite driver was anyone driving a Ford. Tom especially liked weekend RVing at Pocono races. The trackside fence being his ultimate viewing spot. His motto was, "if at the end of the day you weren't wearing track dirt then you weren't racing."

Tom's sister Seda Schwarz (Richard) resides in Hunlock Creek, as does his niece Shani Emel (Max) and their children Karli, Rich and Max. Niece Seda McClurg (Dan) resides in California. His extended family includes  John and Edna Manning, Betsy and Jake Schoelkopf, Scott and Kerry Amey and deceased niece Cheryl Amey Shea.

His family would like to thank everyone that provided their expertise and compassion in aiding Tom on this journey.

"It was good knowing you Yeags. See you later."
