My condolences to his family and friends. He helped me and so many people figure our mustang issues out. Part of hom will always be here and in our thoughts.

That's a bummer. Much of what he listed was way over my head, but he was always willing to try to help. Glad he will live on with all his info shared here.

Such sad news! Amazing how you can be saddened by the passing of someone I've never met. You could tell he was just a good person who enjoyed helping our community. For those on here that did know him, and to his family, I send my condolences! Rest In Peace JR!

@jrichker was born in 1946, in Texas, graduated with honors from the U.S. Air Force Technical College at Sheppard AFB, and later obtained his Pastoral Degree. He served his country during Vietnam and in his later years told his family that he would do it all over again for his country. He was a retired IT Specialist from the Carl Vinson VA Medical Center. He enjoyed his pastoral duties including writing sermons and teaching the Bible. He also enjoyed rebuilding older and antique Mustangs, repairing and rebuilding computers, woodworking, building furniture, construction, history, cooking, and spending time with his family and beloved pets.


@jrichker passed away Thursday, October 6th 2022

He is survived by his wife, sister, 4 children, 14 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.


JR was selfless during the time that he was on Stangnet. He would do his damnedest to help somebody out. Even, if all he got back from them was some kind of static.


He will be missed. His Crank No Start Checklist and Surging Idle Checklists are [HUGE] gifts to this forum. He will still be helping folks out here for as long as the lights stay on.

Man what a loss.Its been awhile since I've been on here so I'm just now hearing the news.Aside from,& tied with,Joel on sbftech.com ,Jrichker was definitely the smartest guy I know in the Foxbody forum game.At least we learned a thing or two from knowledge he was willing to freely share.Thanks for your genius and enjoy your time with the big man upstairs. RIP Jrichker

I can't count the number of times he has helped me directly and indirectly. He will be missed. Looking forward to shaking his hand when I move on to the glory where he now resides
