JEFFREY R. PAUNICKA (1954-2023)

I only knew Jeff a few years and can hardly say that I knew him. In that short time, 5 years or so, it became evident that he was a true advocate for the hobby and truly loved mentoring young numismatists.

Jeff was a new member of the board for the Indiana State Numismatic Association, serving as a district Governor for the northern part of the state. It is an area that we have always struggled to cover, and we were looking forward to him bringing his energy to the position. His last email to the board was an update on the Calumet and Goodfellow clubs in northwest Indiana. His report was more thorough than we are used to seeing but it was not surprising coming from Jeff. Below are some pictures that he shared.

 

 

If you have ever received an email from Jeff, then you know that he was proud of the clubs that he was a part of. I don't know where he found the energy to support all his associations in addition to being a well-respected dealer as well.
