Raul ‘Ray’ A. Gual

Jan 29, 2019

Raul (Ray) A. Gual, of Nashua, NH passed away on January 10, 2019.

He was born on July 6, 1931, in New York, NY, the son of Emma and Francisco Gual. He was predeceased by his parents, his brother Frank Gual, and sister Acacia Abbate.

He was an engineer and project manager at RCA and at Sanders Associates (BAE). Among his many accomplishments Ray worked on radar teams for several high-profile projects including the Apollo 11 lunar excursion module, the SR-71 Blackbird and the Patriot Missile. After retiring from Sanders he partnered with his wife to successfully launch and run Accura Travel Agency. Ray had a passion for all things British (including “chish and fips” and his unrequited love for Judy Dench), incisive thinking, and dry wit. He most enjoyed jazz music, traveling, helping his kids and grandkids with their many projects, and spending quality time with family.

Raul is survived by his wife Sara Sinexon Gual; daughter and son-in-law Marcia and Anthony Contarino, Keene, NH; son and daughter-in-law Robert and Wendy Gual, Hollis, NH; daughter Kari Gual, Alexandria, Egypt; son Geoffrey Gual, Nashua, NH; daughter and son-in-law Gillian and Jamie Hinkle, Hollis, NH; grandchildren Nicole Reynolds, Dylan Reynolds, Cameron Contarino, Liana Gual, Jonathan Gual, Elisa Gual, Jackson Hinkle, and Darcy Hinkle, and great grandchildren Gianna, Mason, and Eliana. He also is survived by many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

The family would like to thank friends and neighbors for their support and concern. In accordance with his wishes there will be no formal services. There will be a family memorial celebration later this year.
