Dick Winter and I meet in bootcamp in 1966. Our relationship started out strained. By by the end of bootcamp we had become good friends. He asked me to be an usher at his wedding. This became a lifelong friendship between our families. We both joined the NYPD and it was obvious to me that he would be a raising star. Everything Dick did in life was to the best of his ability. He taught me how to hang a new door in an old frame, replace a window using a temporary header and installed wall to wall carpeting in my first house. It wasn’t entirely one sided though my trade was plumbing and heating and l was happy to reciprocate. Another thing that most people don’t know is that on 9-11 Dick’s nephew a NYC Fireman was killed at the twin towers bombing.

For me he will always be remembered as one of the most decent hard working people I have ever known. The world is a little better because of him. Those of us who knew him will always keep him in our hearts.

RIP

I did not know Inspector Winter, however after reading Lt. Haring's thoughts and reflection, I am sorry I had missed the opportunity to work with him. Rest in Peace. May God always watch over you and your family. Let us never forget who and why these people murdered so many.

I remember Insp. Winter for his absolute and tireless loyalty to the NYPD. At the same time, he was so lucky to have the love and support of his wife and family while he worked an unbelievable amount of hours. He was a proud Navy veteran. His loyalty to the NYPD was just absolute. Unfortunately, he died soon after retiring, just when he was finally free to enjoy unlimited time with his wife and family. I knew him for over twenty five years and never, ever witnessed a lapse of integrity or moral values. I'll never forget him. I just wish the Lord had given him more time here on Earth.

To the family and friends of Inspector Richard Winter and his fellow officers:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Richard tragically died as a result of his heroism following 9/11. None of our 9/11 heroes will be forgotten.

To Inspector Richard Winter's family, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in the Bay Area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for them many years of dedicated service Richard gave to his city and the citizens of New York, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on October 25, 2008.
