Our sincere condolences to the Behney family. I just found out today of Richard and Carols passing. They were my dear friends for over 30 years. I met Richard after I moved from Brooklyn New York to Dayton in 1983 at H&K automotive on north Main Street. We were good friends and talked about life and people growing up in this society. He and Carol were wonderful people. We love to go to dinner together in Cincinnati along with my wife Vera. I had so many good times with Richard and will truly miss by buddy for life. Sincerely Michael and Vera Richberg.
