Fred G. Stickel III ’37

Distinguished municipal lawyer Fred Stickel died Dec. 10, 1998, survived by son Fred IV, daughters Virginia, Jane, Elizabeth, and Kathryn, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

At Lawrenceville, Fred was active in four sports and on the yearbook board and history club. He majored in politics at Princeton, graduating with high honors. He continued his swimming career at Princeton (and thereafter) and joined Key and Seal. In our 50th yearbook he noted that he had been school board attorney for Cedar Grove for 40 years, and attorney for Cedar Grove for 15 years, Roseland for 20 years, and Verona for five years. He also was special attorney at least 60 other municipalities.

His distinguished service awards are too numerous to mention, including those from various governors and the New Jersey Senate and Assembly. He was secretary of the governor's commission to revise the municipal law in 1959 and served on various government municipal law commissions. He was also active in class affairs, having been v.p., on the executive committee, chairman of the 15th-reunion wives and children committee, and cochairman of the 50th reunion. He gave his collection of tigers to Princeton in 1997.
