NARDONE David Nardone, born on 14 May 1916 was the 6th of 7 children of Michele and Giovannina Nardone, immigrants from Italy. His family originally lived in the Flytown section of Columbus but moved to Grandview Heights in the 1920s. David graduated from Grandview High School in 1935 and attended Franklin University. His work in many capacities at the Dean & Barry Paint Company and its affiliates spanned almost 60-years, only interrupted by military service in the Army Air Corps. He married M.

David was an avid and accomplished golfer from his earliest years and relished the outdoors caring for his 5-acres in Orient. In the 1960s he served on the Franklin County Zoning Commission and in 1995 was recognized by the community of Grove City for his friendly, positive, and can-do attitude. He was a 32nd Degree Mason, long-term member and Elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Grove City, and a member of the Senior Chorus at the Grove City Senior Center.
