Stanley Winnick Obituary
Stanley Paul Winnick
of Candor
Stanley Winnick, 81, of Candor, passed away peacefully at his residence on Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Stanley was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Anna Vos Winnick. Stanley is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Esther (Lindhorst) Winnick; son and daughter-in-law, Stanley Jr. and Dell Winnick, Candor; daughter and son-in-law, Diane and Daniel Coppage, Candor; brother, Joseph Winnick, Brockport; sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Ignace Cyganovich, Owego; grandchildren, Daniel (Jennifer) Coppage, Candor, Kevin (Janette) Coppage, Candor, Rachel (David) Smith, Newark Valley, Stanley Winnick III, Candor, and Gregory Winnick, Candor; great-grandchildren, Hailey, Kaitlyn and Kayla Coppage. Stanley was born at home in Candor, N.Y., on June 17, 1927, to Anna (Vos) and Paul Winnick. After working on his family farm he spent the rest of his lifetime working in the logging/lumber industry and was President of Owego Contracting Co. in Candor since its incorporation in 1960. He loved his work in the industry. In 1994 he was given the award of Outstanding Service to the Forest Products Industry from the Northeastern Loggers Association for his dedication to the forest products industry.

He was a lifelong member of St. Francis Church in Catatonk, and also a member of the Candor American Legion Post #907 and the Owego Elks Lodge #1039. Stanley was a well-respected, hard working and fair man. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend of the community. Stanley didn't lose his life, he completed it. He will never be forgotten and will be deeply missed by everyone.

Mrs. Winnick,Diane,Sonny, son-in-laws, daughter- in- laws and Grandkids. I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Stan. I remember back years ago when he started the sawmill. We had a very good bunch of guys working there. I will always remember Stan walking in the mill and getting out a coin to flip with me to see who was going to lose. Most of the time it was me. I have a lot of memories from the mill and the guys who worked there. Stan was a fair person to work for and I will miss him Dearly. My prayers go out to all of his family. God bless you all.
