This web site is dedicated to the memory of Richard E. Stanwick. Navy veteran, retired NYPD, mechanical wizard, extraordinary carpenter. If you knew him, you couldn't help but like the guy. He was my teacher, my friend, and my hero, and I will miss him forever. Thanks for everything you ever did for me, for eveything you ever did without for me, and for showing me how to be a man. I hope I haven't disappointed you, Dad.
Arlene, Victor and Richard Stankiewicz in February 1959. About five years after this picture was taken Richie changed our family name to Stanwick, but he always remained "Stankie" to those of us who loved him.
