Joseph "Bill" Boulay

March 14, 1946 — May 25, 2021

Joseph "Bill" Boulay

Born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, Bill was the son of Maurice and Edith (Jewell) Boulay. He faithfully served our country in the United States Navy from December 16, 1965 until March 11, 1967. He then married the love of his life, Concetta “Connie” Eacopelli, on February 3, 1968. Bill worked as an Electrician for Firestone for over 15 years, McLouth Steel for 10 years and then for Chrysler Trenton Engine for another 18 years, retiring in 2014. He was a member of St. Mary Our Lady of the Annunciation Catholic Church, the Rockwood Fire Department and was a certified EMT/Paramedic, the VFW and the UAW. Bill enjoyed bicycling but his most treasure times were those spent with his family. Bill leaves to cherish his memory, Connie, his wife of the past 53 years; children: Tanina (Paul) Bodner and Sara (Tod) Fuchs; a daughter-in-law Barbara (Jeremy Spurr) Boulay ; seven grandchildren: Connor Bodner, Dominic Bodner, Angelina Bodner, Brooklyn Boulay, Mia Boulay, Grayson Fuchs and Noelle Fuchs; as well as a brother Michael Boulay. Sadly he was preceded in death by his parents; a son Joseph Boulay; two siblings Robert Boulay and Louanan Alcenius and three grandchildren: Lilyana Fuchs, Presley Fuchs and Arielle Fuchs.
