Oscar C. Boldt, 96, who steered his once near-bankrupt family building business to become the $1-billion diversified construction giant Boldt Group Inc., died June 9 from complications of pneumonia and kidney failure, according to current CEO Tom Boldt, his son.
As firm chairman until his death, Oscar Boldt, who led the Appleton, Wis., firm for seven decades, was its long-time go-to person for problem-solving, ethics, philanthropy and much more, say company and industry observers.
