Raymond E. Boulay Sr., a retired manufacturers' representative and woodworker, died March 4 of congestive heart failure at Stella Maris Hospice in Timonium. He was 92.

Born in Baltimore, Mr. Boulay was raised in Ashburton. He was a 1935 graduate of Loyola High School and attended what is now Loyola University Maryland.

Mr. Boulay was a sales representative for many years with the Harbor Sales Co. before establishing Precision Sales Co., which represents a variety of manufacturers, in 1965.

Mr. Boulay retired in 1995 from the company, which is owned and operated by his son, Raymond E. Boulay Jr., who lives in Towson.

An expert in millwork, Mr. Boulay enjoyed woodworking and gardening.

"But his real hobby was work. He enjoyed working," said his daughter, Margee Boulay Geare of Lutherville.

Mr. Boulay, who had lived in Towson for more than 50 years, was a communicant and usher at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, where a Mass of Christian burial was offered March 8.

Also surviving are his wife of 56 years, the former Margaret Gertrude Ward; a stepson, Eugene W. Boulay of Baltimore; and two granddaughters.
