Richard Law Myers

Jul 23 1929 - Jan 19 2010

Richard Law Myers was born July 23, 1929 in Sherman Texas. From the most humble beginnings in depression era Sherman, Texas, our Dad set out to raise a family and educate his children, sending each on to successful lives and careers. He graduated Sherman High in 1948, after serving as a Bearcat Cheerleader. Dad served 6 years as a medical corpsman in the U S Navy after high school. He is survived by the love of his life MaryAnn Robey Myers, wife of 58 years. He is also survived by his six children: daughter Cynthia and husband Howard Hackney of Dallas, daughter Susan and husband Dr Tom Hartgrove of Pilot Point, daughter Cathy and husband Lonnie Wallace of Oklahoma City, son Richard Law Myers, Jr. Of Dallas, son Charles R.

US Navy Capt. G. R. Robey and wife Audrey, of Bethany Beach, DE, and Sister-in-law Helen Holfelner, Haddonfield, NJ. Dick, also affectionately known as “Bunny Myers” had a great entrepreneurial spirit. He was involved in many successful endeavors over the years ranging from top ranked company salesman for a major scientific company, to owner of a medical equipment company, to real estate development and building construction. The last 10 years prior to retirement, he was co-founder of Mycon General Contractors with his son Charlie Myers. Dad will always be remembered for his humor at life’s challenges and his upbeat and positive take on all that life dishes out. Those who knew him knew that they could count on him to cheer them up and root them on, especially when the chips were down. He was a dear friend to all. Dad was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing at Canyon Creek Country Club. He was also a very accomplished bridge player. He and wife Mary Ann had been in the same bridge group for over 30 years. The family is grateful to all his friends and especially those from St. Michael’s Hospice who helped him fight the good fight. He will be dearly missed. May God be kind to our beloved Dad, Husband, and old friend. Peace be with you, dear Dad.
