About Nicklas And Associates

Nicklas & Associates:  Serving Humboldt County since 1970

Paul J. Nicklas 1947-2017         "His Love Endures Forever" Psalm 136
To obtain business experience while attending Humboldt State University in 1969, Paul became licensed as an insurance agent with New England Life.  He was appointed by the City of Eureka to be the agent for the Employee Group Life Plan which triggered formation of Nicklas Insurance Agency in 1970. This early experience and a Humboldt State University degree in Business Administration led to his appointment as a Managing Director with Northwestern Mutual Life in 1971. The agency was located on C Street for 31 years where he was known for "selling protection next to the Police Station".  The agency transferred in 2002 to the campus on Myrtle Avenue in Eureka, coinciding with Northwestern's celebration of 100 years continuous service in Humboldt County. Sadly, we lost Paul in December of 2017 to Pancreatic Cancer. He became the 274th person in the US to try an experimental nuclear infusion drug which prolonged his life another 32 months after diagnosis, which he spent enjoying life and his family. We here at Nicklas & Associates are continuing Paul's legacy of continued quality professional service and care to our clients. Paul Nicklas had dedicated his life to making a difference, serving others and helping people preserve and increase wealth. We want to see you and your business succeed.
