He was born 3-22-33 (he always joked his birthday was a Full House) in the Town of Morris, Shawano County, Wisconsin to Lee and Marie (Innerebner) Boldig.
He was a founding member of the SIASEFI fraternity at his alma matter the Central States Teachers College, now the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point.
He enjoyed a lifelong career in sales included working for Service Printing and Dataforms in business forms sales.
He played the trumpet and guitar and continued his love of music singing Barbershop music with the Racine Dairy Statesmen, was the lead singer with the 4 Phrogs Quartet, and carried that Barbershop singing tradition well into his retirement years in Florida.
He had a passion for golf and was a director of the Wisconsin State Golf Association. He was a long-time member of Meadowbrook Country Club in Racine, WI and Imperial Lakes Country Club in Lakeland, FL and served as President of the Fairway Oaks HOA. Other golfers were often envious that he could drive the ball a “country mile”. As a lifelong patient of Dr. Smirnoff, he always enjoyed good times with friends and family.
Of course, he claimed to have walked to school uphill, both ways!
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife Grace (Collins), his parents Lee and Marie Boldig and brothers Jim Boldig and Jay Boldig.
He is survived by his children Mary Kay Robinson (Jess), Timothy Boldig (Linnette), Thomas Boldig (Lori), sisters Sandra (Marc) Pecha and Jane (Tom) Miller and grandchildren Eric Wallace, Katie Wallace, Ashley (Devin) Plato, Bradley Boldig (Danni Vidal) and great-grandchildren Abigail Boldig and Isaac Boldig. Extended family grandchildren Amber (Phillip) Lee, Gabriela Padron, Andrea (Timothy) Young and great-grandchildren Sienna Lee and Olivia Lee.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Baldwin-Fairchild Funeral home in Winter Garden, FL.
A celebration of life will be held in Wisconsin in the near future as travel and gathering restrictions are eased.
