Reflections for Lieutenant Stanley P. Przygocki
My father, William D Humen, held a fundraiser for Sgt. Przygocki’ s surviving wife and children on Tuesday, December 5th , after his last day of duty, at the Stanley Theatre in Jersey City in the area of the Journal Square. Dad flew out to Las Vegas to recruit entertainers. He was successful- Tony Bennett, Pat Cooper, Bobby Vinton, Jackie Mason, to name a few. I’d love to hear from his children. I recall my mother dressing my sister and me in our Sunday best and wearing white gloves of course.
It was an honor to attend.

I always wondered about the wisdom of a PO announcing he's is a PO during the actual robbery when the actor has a gun. Would it be right just to shoot and kill or is it so morally right to give the actor the chance t o surrender? I've thought about so many times and have drawn my on conclusion. Stanley may have been, legally and morally correct. RIP.

My dad was a Jersey City Police Officer when the Lieutenant was shot. I was 7 at the time. I remember sitting on my Dad's lap while he called the District multiple times over the the 2 days to check on the Lt. The sadness when he learned of the Lieutenant's passing was palpable- Lt. Przygocki must have been an incredible man. I offer my deepest sympathies to his family, and my gratitude for his service and brotherhood.

I was best friends with his nephew Bill Pryzggocki. I remember going to the house with his dad and Bill to drop stuff off for the family. Very sad time!

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 47th anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.
My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

As I searched my family name on the internet, God Blessed me with the name of Lt. Stanley P. Przygocki. I remember my parents telling me the stories of a police office who was killed in the line of duty. Paased on from my great family members, I now have the chance to leave a memorial and will now also remember who made the ultimate sacrifice giving of one's life for his fellow man and woman. May God richly bless the Przygocki's of this land and our roots in Poland. "Pan Bog"

It is my most sincere desire to espress my sympathy to the Family of Lieutenant Stanley Przygocki. As we share the same name, I pray we share the same faith and hope in the Resurrection of Christ. May our paths someday cross and may we someday meet, untill the day that our pilgrimage ends and we will all be together with Jesus and Stanley and all who have served God.
Be assured of my prayers, especially in the Holy Mass.
Cordially, Father Ed Przygocki,

Lt. Przygocki,
I was born on the day of your last watch. I later became a police officer myself. May God continue to watch over you and your family. Great officers never "die" heros. They are officers who live as heros and are taken from us much too soon.
