Richey Smith

I worked for Mr. Richey 2007 - 2014 and often think of his generosity and kind spirit. He was always buying the whole office sandwiches, passing out gift certificates, bringing in cake donuts and taking photos of my classic cars and then giving me the prints. I still picture him pulling into the parking lot with his wood-paneled Buick wagon. He definitely kept the morale up at work and appreciated his employees. Those were good times. My condolences to his family.

Once again I am reminded of what a wonderful, amazing life Richey had. We enjoyed getting together at the Tavern Club or Rockwell Springs and shared many memories of our hometown of Akron among other things. He will always be missed. Bob Iredell

Richey met in 1950 on the Hotchkiss Main Building steps prior to our Summer School pre-School Prep. From that moment on Richey & I became fast friends. It was amazing the number of times & interesting places he would surface....always with a Blaze "Hi there Lynn" I miss that guy Lynn Theis Hotchkiss 53

So sad to receive this news from my Godchild Mason. Met Richey in January 1952 and have been close friends ever since. Our love and sympathy to Sandra, Mason and Parker and their families. He was for sure very special indeed and will be missed by all

Richie was a great pal ... we met at Hotchkiss Summer School in 1950 & our friendship lasted all these years.. always the unexpected "show up". Loved the guy All good thoughts & love to Richie´s family Lynn Theis

Dear Sandy, I was stunned and deeply saddened to learn about Richey's passing. What a wonderful, amazing man. I had lunch at the Tavern Club this fall and was looking forward to his return. We enjoyed reminiscing about all things Akron, as he lived on Delaware Ave. near my grandfather's home. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Sandra.....My heart goes out to you. Richey and I were together not long ago for lunch. Who would have thought he was over 70! You certainly have had long lives lived fully. Richey will be much missed. Charles Bolton
