Bruce L. “Smooty” Boldig, 58, Kaukauna, was welcomed into eternal life with his family by his side on Sunday, Aug. 25, 2013.
He was born Nov. 4, 1954, in Shawano, son of Maurice and Diane (Malueg) Boldig. Bruce married the love of his life, Pamey Brewer, on Oct. 11, 1986. He has been employed at SCA Tissue for 22 years and was an active member of St. Peter Lutheran Church. Bruce was a true family man, doing everything he could for his family. He built the homes they lived in using all of his talents and craftsmanship. He was always there for Jessica in all of her basketball and soccer games, and for Jake in all of his racing endeavors. Together the Boldigs took many wonderful family vacations. Recently Bruce was most proud of the newest edition of his family, his most precious granddaughter, Peyton. Bruce lit up every time she came near him. He loved riding his motorcycle, playing pool and spending time at WIR.
Bruce is lovingly survived by his wife of 26 years, Pamey; two children, Jessica (Chris) Singer and Jake Boldig; the apple of his eye and only granddaughter, Peyton Singer; a sister, Janine (Scott) Schoepke; special aunt and uncle who have filled the shoes of the parents Bruce lost so early, Marlene and Richard Johnson; father- and mother-in-law, Jack and Donna Brewer; brothers- and sisters-in-law, Robert (Bonnie) Quandt, Wendy (Jerry) Van Camp, Steve (Michelle) Quandt, Peggy Faulkner, Betty Jo Caughell, Katy Saffia; many other special nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and other family members and friends.
Bruce was preceded in death by his parents, Maurice and Diane, and his paternal and maternal grandparents.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013, at St. Peter Ev. Lutheran Church, N2749 French Road, Appleton, with Pastor Tim Glende officiating. Interment will be in Community Lutheran Cemetery.
Visitation will be on Wednesday from 4-8 p.m. at St. Peter Ev. Lutheran Church and again on Thursday at the church from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. A memorial has been established in Bruce’s name.
