Kevin B. Boulia, 71, a lifelong Nashua resident, passed away Friday morning, November 29, 2024 at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack after a period of declining health.
One of five of the late Kenneth R. and Theresa C. (Mason) Boulia, he was born in Nashua on February 7, 1953. Educated in local schools, Kevin attended the former Sacred Heart School of St. Patrick Church and Nashua High School.
Kevin began his career working with the Department of Public Works for the City of Nashua. He then went on to work with Highland Tool Company in Nashua for over 45 years. His career there began as a machinist, and through dedication and hard work, he transitioned into sales, ultimately rising to the position of Operations Manager for many years before his retirement.
An active outdoorsman, Kevin found joy in activities such as golf, fishing, skiing, and camping. His love for nature and adventure was matched only by his enthusiasm for sports. A true fan of all the Boston sports teams and car racing.
