I remember doing coin business with him many many years ago. He always has a smile on his face and was always a professional. I am sorry for his loss

So sorry to hear about Don's passing. He was an energetic and fun person. He was a friend of my parents mostly but I interacted with him in my adult years a bit too. I had no idea he had worked at Nationwide. We must have just missed each other. I started at NW in 1974. My sincere condolences to the family.
