Stanley beat his wife and children so severely that his eldest son Florian died of injuries suffered from a savage beating. Both parents were highly abusive, bitter people. His mother Anna, a very attractive woman, worked as a meat-packer during Kuklinski’s childhood. His father Stanley, a handsome man but severely alcoholic, was a brakeman on the railroad. Kuklinski grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey in a blue-collar family. Kuklinski received the moniker for his charming method of freezing a victim to mask the time of death and for his utter lack of emotion toward his victims. The media dubbed him the Iceman during his much publicized reign of terror over the state of New Jersey. A biography written with his input (although not from the first person) was a big seller. A documentary and a film were made about his life. During his many years as a mafia assassin for hire, the press dubbed him The Iceman. For quite some time the media was all about Richard Kuklinski.
