  3. Ivis, I am so sorry to read about your husband's death. You'll be in my prayers. Just know that God is with you and your family at this time of your loss

  4. I don't have words to express my deep appreciation for Dick. I worked with him at The Odessa American in the late 70s. I was just a young guy out of college, who moved from Wisconsin to Odessa. Dick was always a guy who was willing to help and pass along great advice. I was indeed lucky to have been able to soak up all the help Dick was able to give. May God bless the Eggar family and know Dick is in my prayers.
