Shipmates:
As I have said the last few months, it has been my honor and pleasure to create the Navy Storekeeper.com for our sailors, and in 2 days I will taking it offline. My stength is decreasing quite a bit but I have awesome wife, some awesome friends, and some fantastic family coming back and forth from Chicago and New York (especially my brother) and it has been a godsend. You can't ask for anymore. And your personal prayers and support comments on this Blog adds more to all that.
If you wish, shipmates, you may email directly to my home email at czwierzynski@yahoo.com, and if I do not reply for sometime, please feel free to email my wife, Demetria, at demetria@usa.com. Our 8th anniversary is in April ---- I was I met this wonderful woman 10 years ago instead! She is an absolute joy!
So for now, have a great Navy Day! Your prayers and support are always a great part of our days!
Regards,
SKCS Chuck Zwierzynski

Go with God, my nephew. You fought a tremendous battle with grace and dignity.
I have it on good authority from Metri's cousin Scott (on the Lincoln again) that your former shipmates are all thinking of you this day.
Metri, God be with you. He couldn't have given Chuck a better wife or you a better husband. We'll see you soon.
Love,
AuntieSan
This site has been a great help for me while getting ready for my advancement exam. I hope someone will take up his legacy and continue the site. He will be missed!

Although I never personally met Senior Chief, we chatted quite a bit back and forth via the wonderous web. He was a volunteer on 1Navy.com since 2004 and he inspired me to be a better Sailor and webmaster! It was an honor to be assoicated with him and I will miss his correspondence. I send my prayers and support to his wonderful family and know he will always play a big part in my Navy Career. God Bless. v/r, YN2 Marta Martin
Eternal Father, Strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty Ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to thee,
for those in peril on the sea.
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walked'st on the foaming deep, and calm amidst its rage didst sleep; Oh hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace; Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go; Thus evermore shall rise to Thee, Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
God Bless Chuck, his wife and know we are privileged to have had our lives touched by him.
With Heartfelt Sympathy,

Thank you for giving your life to helping others in the Navy.
God have a special place prepared for you Chief. May He be with you in the afterworld. Enjoy your hhappy place.
fair winds and following seas,shipmate.thanks for your wealth of wizdom and knowlege.
I’m at a lose for words, SKCS paved the way for so many of us, when I would show the younger sailors navystorekeeper.com it really put them at ease to know they didn't have to run from shop to shop to find their study material. When I was once a new struggling Training PO, his website helped me pull together and rebuild a program that my division could trust and understand. In actuality HE pulled me through it all. I don't know what I would've done without him. He will truly be missed and never be forgotten.
Very Respectfully,

I have just once again opened the site since after the CPO advancement exam. I felt awfully sorry upon knowing your medical condition. The navystorekeeper.com that you have created has helped a lot of sailors (that includes myself). It was a major tool that brought me to the CPO Selection Board Eligibility. I have used the site helping the younger shipmates preparing for their advancement exams as well.
I feel obliged to extend you my most sincere gratitude. I am also honored to have you as a shipmate who really cares for his fellow shipmates. I salute you.
You are included in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Rufino A. Aguinaldo, MA1(SW)
Senior Chief:
I am a Supply Corps officer and the site administrator for Warchop.org, the largest online presence for Supply Corps officers.
Thank you for your countless and innumerable sacrifices by keeping the site NavyStoreKeeper.com running. Understand that your site was not built for personal recognition, and that it was put in place solely to benefit Sailors throughout the Fleet. However, the selfless contributions that you made, will continue to benefit numerous generations of Navy Sailors, as the information gathered from your site, will be passed on to further generations. This fact was confirmed when the SKs reported to me that it’s one of the best tools they have. Understand the NKO element, however, I would be honored to continue hosting the site for you, if you so desire to keep it running until it can be transitioned formally to a successor.
I have also been in the Navy for 14 years, and realize that many, who are in your situation, would opt to move on. However, you continue to volunteer to serve aboard the PCU George W. Bush, when most would not.
As you continue into the next journey of your treatment, the thoughts and prayers of my family, and the brothers and sisters with whom I serve with, are with you. Thank you for all that you have done.
Shipmate, I wish you well.
Very respectfully,
Warchop.org
Thank you for all you've done to enhance the enrichment of our Navy. Not only have you assisted in the advancement of Sailors world wide, but you did it out of the love in your heart. Thank you once again.

I have been an avid user of the navystorekeeper website ever since I found out about it in SK A school. I've used it in all my advancement exams and it certainly helped me a lot in advancing. Now, I use it to train our junior troops. To the late SKCS, thank you for all your hard work and for passing on your knowledge to the rest of us.

To the late SKCS Zwierzynski and his family:
Your legacy and your family lingers in my heart and many sailors you've helped, whether it is because of the navystorekeeper or because of lives you've touched by working with them. It is an honor to be called a sailor because of a leader like you. My heartful thanks to you and your family. My condolences Ma'am, with great pride, I serve the US Navy with your husband and your family's inspiration.

I just want to thank senior chief for creating this website under the one-man-operation. However, I just found out that it is too late to say it since he has already passed away half a year ago. I feel really sorry about his loss. I salute you, senior, for what you have done even when you were having the treatments.
Very Respectfully,
SK3 Lok
I wanted to thank Senior Chief for all of his assistance in studying for my advancement exams and assistance the junior Sailors in finding their study material. It was with deep regret I realized he had passed away numerous months ago. My prayers are with his family and my thanks for all the time and energy Senior spent putting the Navy Storekeeper website.
SKCS is now in heaven and still watching us to make sure that as leaders to our subordinates we need to continue his legacy and teach our fellow sailors to learn our rate and for them to advance. Thank you Senior for everything you have provided us. This website help me to understand my job and how to become an SK. I have been using this since 2000 and sharing it to those who needs it. I am sorry that I never really pay attention to the homepage, it was selfish for my part. For your family, may God Bless you and thanks you for all your support. Senior Chief was truly a great leader and even though I never met him, I salute him for his accomplishments.
God Bless to you all!
Very respectfully,
