My Daughter Stole My Company While I Grieved

I'm Richard Castellano, 67 years old. This is the true story of how my own daughter destroyed everything I spent 42 years building. THE STORY: In 1983, my best friend Tom and I started Castellano-Brennan Manufacturing with $30,000 and a dream. By 2023, we'd built a $50 million aerospace manufacturing company with 200 employees and contracts with Boeing, Lockheed, and NASA. On November 8th, 2023, Tom died suddenly of a heart attack. On November 11th, 2023, my daughter Jennifer—a corporate lawyer—told me not to come to his funeral. "You'll cause a scene," she said. That same day, she filed probate papers representing Tom's daughter Rachel. Together, they claimed I didn't deserve my 50% ownership. They said I'd "coasted" for 20 years while Tom did the "real work." They gave me 90 days to buy out half the company for $23.5 million—money I didn't have. When I couldn't pay, they restructured everything. My salary dropped from $400,000 to $85,000. My ownership went from 50% to 15%. I was pushed out of the company I'd spent 42 years building. But they made one mistake: they underestimated me. At 67 years old, when everyone said I was too old to start over, I built a new company from scratch. Castellano Precision Engineering now has 30 employees and $8 million in contracts—built on the same principles Tom and I started with.
