Donald L. Pannabecker, Bluffton University emeritus faculty member, whose university tenure extended from 1964 to 1997, died on Jan. 17. His obituary is HERE.
By Fred Steiner
Bluffton Icon founder
Legend has it that Don Pannabecker arrived as a freshman at Bluffton College in a new 1954 Oldsmobile 98, driven by his mother… all the way from Peoria, Illinois. He brought with him a cello and a remarkably dry sense of humor.
Don’s choice of college, no doubt selected at birth by his parents, became a benefit to all who live in Bluffton. His contribution confirms the long-standing perception that Bluffton is such an interesting place because of the variety of people who call it home.
