KIMBALL NEDVED On Tuesday, January 14, 2020, age 91, Kimball Nedved passed away. Formerly from Mt. Lebanon, he was living in Cumberland, Maryland at the time of his death. Kimball was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Diane Dahlberg Nedved. He was also preceded by his chess buddy and brother-in-law Roy Berg and sister-law, Dorothy Berg (the ones that introduced him to his future wife), nephew Eric Berg, and brother-in-law Philip Dahlberg. Kimball was father to Rudolph Nedved of Pittsburgh, David (Kelly) Nedved of Cumberland, MD, Evelyn (Jeffrey) Pendleton of Lancaster. He leaves behind his grandchildren, Danielle and Aidan Gelston, Marissa (Corder) Nedved Phillips, Bradley Nedved and James, Scott, and Diana Pendleton, and his great-grandson Samuel Nedved Phillips. Mr. Nedved was an analytical genius. For starters, both his parents were architects. Kimball graduated from Illinois Institute of Technology with a B.S. in 1952 and an M.S. in 1953. Both degrees were in psychology. He was later drafted in the Army in 1953. At Fort Benning, thanks to his stunning accuracy, he made the rifle team, the precursor to the elite Marksmanship Unit. There, he also did psychological testing of thousands of paratroopers training at the Airborne School's “Free Towers.” After his service, he worked in advertising at Leo Burnett, one of the world's largest agencies. His market research career started first with Market Facts. He then took employment with Johnson Wax, where he helped develop Glade. Next, he worked for Campbell Soup and then Heinz Ketchup. Eventually, he and John Hayes founded a company that provided “useful” market research for 30 years to most supermarket chains and large retailers in North America. The answers had to explain retail success or the questions weren't asked. Kimball also had a knack for chess. He won the 1951 Illinois State Chess Championship and the 1969 US Amateur Chess Championship. His four-person team won the 1986 US Amateur Team Championship. In 1987, his chess rating was 2321, compared to a Grandmaster rating of 2400. In 1988, when Carnegie-Mellon University was developing Deep Thought, they tested it by having the chess program compete against Kimball. Kimball also loved history, especially studying the strategies used in the US Civil War. He greatly enjoyed visiting historical sites and national parks with his family. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 29th at 2 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills (1240 Washington Road). In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully suggests memorial contributions to the Mt. Lebanon Public Library to the Kimball Nedved Fund (16 Castle Shannon Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA 15228). Both Kimball and his wife were avid and lifelong readers. Arrangements were made by the ADAMS FAMILY FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, Cumberland, Maryland.

She loved to share her joy of art with others, especially her nieces, nephews and daughters. Jeanne had the innate ability to make you feel special. Something about the way she spoke made you believe you were capable of great things. She was encouraging and a positive light to so many people. She wanted only the best for her family and those she loved. She was a great cook who prepared amazing meals. She took great pride in her home that was always kept immaculately clean. She enjoyed reading and creating art but her family was most important to her. She was a loving mother who cherished her daughters and grandchildren very dearly. Jeanne sadly faced many health challenges in her life although she consistently had a positive attitude that never faltered. She remained strong throughout her battles with Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis. Her attitude and strength are an inspiration that her family and friends will always remember. Jeanne often told people “You're the best!”. She was blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing people including friends, family, and nurses, but most importantly, her husband of 52 years. Jeanne and Bill had a beautiful marriage filled with patience and kindness. Their love for each other was evident within seconds of being in their presence. Bill provided Jeanne with the best care and life she could live while she was sick. Jeanne was surrounded by the best because she brought out the best in people. Although she was the one to tell others, it was actually Jeanne that was the best. Friends will be received on Monday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the JOBE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY, INC.
