95. NIBLETTE, Bob -- now deceased (Bob died of cancer in 1995)
1961
Our classmate, Bob Niblette, (Robert Kenneth Niblette, Ph.D.) was born August 4, 1943, in Hackensack, New Jersey, the son of Eleanor P. and Howard T. Niblette. The family later moved to Waldwick.
After graduating from Midland Park High School in 1961 (see his high school activities list above), Bob received his bachelor of arts (majoring in psychology) in 1966 from Hamilton College, Clinton, NY. He married his sweetheart, Judith ("Judie") Mae Hacking, on January 31, 1964, in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, about a 3-1/2 hr drive east of the Hamilton College campus. A small reception was held later at Hamilton College in the Delta Phi fraternity, of which Bob was a member. Judie had been a 1961 graduate of Ridgewood High School, after which she had graduated from the National School of Aeronautics in Kansas City, MO. Fascinating...!
After graduation from Hamilton College, Bob & Judie moved to the Detroit area of Michigan, where Bob attended graduate school, earning his Master's Degree in 1974 and his Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1976, both degrees from Wayne State University.
Bob and Judie lived in the Coldwater area of Michigan since 1976, where he had been employed by the Coldwater Regional Medical Center for 17 years until its closing; after that, Bob set up his own private clinical psychology practice.
After a long bout with cancer, Bob -- at the much-too-early age of 52 -- died on November 8, 1995, in Coldwater. At the time of his death, he was survived by his sons, R. Kenneth "Ken" Niblette II of Zanesville IN; and James W. Niblette of Bronson MI; his parents of Waldwick NJ; his brother, Roy Niblette of Ringwood NJ; and his sisters Susan Donahue of Washington DC, and Bonnie Stephens of Windsor CT.
Interment was at West Girard Cemetery in Girard Township.
Sadly, an all-too-early death also befell Bob's oldest son, Ken (Robert Kenneth Niblette Jr) at the age of 45, in 2012, in Lansing.
96. NICKELSBERG, Jost
1961 2011
After high school, Jost went to Denison College in Granville, Ohio. More recently, Jost enjoys his horses, and loves following professional baseball games. He and his wife, Ellen, live in upstate New York in Medusa, a small town southwest of Albany, NY.
