Robert D. Barclay Jr. ’43

Body

OUR CLASSMATE BOB DIED Sept. 30, 1994, in San Antonio, Tex. He was 73. Bob prepared for Princeton at Lawrenceville. He devoted most of his life to both banking and ranching. He served as v.p. of the Natl. Bank of Commerce, until he resigned to join the Alamo Natl. Bank in a similar capacity. In the mid-1970s, Bob left the banking business to devote his time to the management of his La Baba Ranch in Coahuila, Mexico.

He was a member of the San Antonio German Club, Order of the Alamo, the Texas and Southwest Cattlemen's Assn., the San Antonio Country Club, and was the first president of the Argyle Club.

Survivors include his sister, Margaret Barclay Goldsbury, and several nephews, cousins, grandnephews, and grandnieces. To his family, we offer our deepest condolences.
