R. Wayne Stickel ’41

DICK STICKEL DIED at home on Hilton Head Island Jan. 4, 1991, following years of suffering from neurological disease. He and his wife Anita had moved there from NJ. following Dick's retirement from a distinguished career in Chatham, where he had established his own law firm and had served as district supervisor for Morris County.

Bom In Newark, Dick was graduated from Lawrenceville. For his full four years at Princeton he roomed in Blair Hall with George Aycrigg, Jack Barker, Malcolm Forbes, Howard Isherwood, Marinus Contant, Lou Pyle, and Hugh Stone. Military service with the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Oh., followed graduation. After the war it was Rutgers Law School, a short stint with his father and brother, the late judge Fred G. Stickel and Fred G. Stickel III '37, then his own practice in Chatham where he represented the borough as its attorney for 20 years. He helped found the Chatham Savings and Loan Bank, guiding it in legal matters. Yet he still found time to serve as president of the Morris County Legal Aid Society and the Madison Y.M.C.A., be on the boards of the Cancer Society of West Orange and the Madison Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, and be active in Chatham's St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

Dick and Anita Stickel have eight children and eight grandchildren. We extend our sincere sympathy to them, to Anita, and to Dick's brother, Fred.
