Not sure what to say?

I worked for and with JB for a number of years with Invacare and with Enigma. JB was a brilliant engineer that made the world a better place. He will be missed.

I have had the pleasure of working for and with JB during the last 30 years at Invacare. I will always appreciate his willingness to listen to ideas, offer constructive critique and a well needed push now and then. He is directly responsible for a great deal of Invacare's success and has impacted so many lives through his love of "tinkering".

We were saddened to learn of J.B.'s passing. Our family will always remember Gayle, J.B. and the Richey family for their kindness and generosity. Our condolences to the Richey family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.

JB and I were friends for 35 years. For 20 years we worked together at Technicare and Invacare. Our friendship was based on the mutual respect for each other. We worked together on many successful projects with enjoyment--there was never a dull moment.

We lost a great person. We will all miss JB.

Sincere condolences to the Richey family.

My sincere condolences to your family in the loss of JB. He was a great person, passionate about his work and devoted to his family. I'm blessed to have known such a great human being while working at Invacare. My prayers are with you in this time of need and always.

I am so sorry for you loss. I used to work at Invacare in Ohio 20 plus years ago and had the pleasure to know him. Now I am in Canada

I knew and respected JB from Technicare days. He left his mark on so many in Ohio.

My condolences to his family.

We at Home Repair Resource Center appreciate Mr. Richey for his generosity in establishing the Gayle and Rhea Richey Fund at HRRC to support the teaching of home repair skills to women. His gift
continues to support this programming, and has helped many women in and beyond the Heights take charge of their homes. Our deepest condolences to the Richey family.

JB inspired many and helped even more through his innovations that resulted in products that embody the "Yes, You Can" spirit. His legacy will live on for generations to come. My condolences to his family on his passing.
