Jurgen Nebelung Obituary
Jurgen earned degrees in engineering, from School Technical University, Brunswick, Germany. He moved to the United States in 1957 and began working with W.J. Barney Corporation (later became a part of Skanska), where he remained his entire career, other than a year back in Germany. He retired when he was well into his 70s. Jurgen was an avid athlete, competing in Masters swimming for many years. He also was an amateur pilot and loved taking off for the day in the sky. He had a quiet selfless nature and wanted the best for his family.
He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Jean; and his sons, Michael Nebelung, Alexander Nebelung (Lucira), both of Niantic, Bradford Maine of Mystic, and Jurgen Nebelung II (Isabel Aley) of Execter, N.H.; and daughters, Christina Millot of Wilbraham, Mass., Wendy Maine of Preston, and Dana Maine (Oscar Hurtado) of Atlanta, Ga.; and grandchildren, Anna Youmans, Jack Millot, Michael Nebelung, Aidan Hurtado, Kiefer Hurtado, Giselle Nebelung, and Quinn Nebelung; sisters, Karin Warkotsch, Renate Bischoff, and Brigitte Hohn, all of Germany; and several nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents; his twin sister Judith Pabst; sister Angelika Osthushenrich; and brother Bernd Nebelung.
The family will have a private service.

I don't know how I missed this 2 years ago. I started every morning for well over a decade swimming in the lane right next to Jurgen at the Mystic Community Center. He made me laugh almost daily. He shared many stories of his youth and life. He led a very interesting life.

Wow! I just received word of Jurgen´s passing. My sincere condolences. I first met Jurgen when I joined the Thames valley flying club back in 1976, when the club had a Cessna 172, N4253Q. Did a lot of flying and work under the hood with jurgen...between pulling out the junkie radios and flying them up to whomever could fix the things, to flying the plane to LI for an engine overhaul. He was so well mannered and a very logical thinker. Always enjoyed his company.
Jean...I´m in FB and I think we both are still connected! Write when u can.

Jean, I am so sorry to read about Jurgen’s passing. So many memories came pouring back - including all our swim adventures together. I have often thought of you both - grateful for the friendship. I’m living in Niantic now, retired, and still swimming.
It would be wonderful to hear from you sometime.
Sending prayers and a hug,
Christie (Slimak) Hayes (Am back to my maiden name. )

Sorry to hear of your loss, I worked at Pfizer for WJ Barney with Juergen for years. I learned and received a lot of good information of the business from Juergen. Big loss.
