Debbie and Children,
John was my weightlifting coach at New Albany High School. He was a great mentor, and helped realize my potential not only in athletics, but also in life. I attribute a great deal of my successes in life to the lessons he taught me. I will keep you in my prayers.

Coach Boldin was/is my biggest mentor and motivator. He pushed me to do things I never thought were possible. He coached me for 2 yrs in football at NAHS and I loved every minute of it. My deepest sympathies for you and your children Debbie. He made a HUGE impact on my life.

Debbie and children,
We are old friends of John's and were shocked to read this notice in the paper. John played football for me at West Virginia Wesleyan College and he was one of my assistant coaches at New Albany High School. John did a wonderful job with our strength and conditioning program and motivating our athletes. He had a heart as big as all outdoors. We shared many laughs together. Our hearts go out to you and the children. You'll all be in our thoughts and prayers.
David and Gayle Lewis
