Robert G. Barclay ’44

Bob died Nov. 22, 2007, in Brick, N.J., his home for many years. He was 85.

Born in Buffalo, N.Y., he came to us from Erie, Pa. He held a Princeton scholarship, majored in economics, played varsity football, and was manager of Charter Club. Bob left us early in 1943 to spend three years as an infantryman in Europe, winning two Bronze Stars.

After completing his Princeton degree, he earned his law degree from Harvard in 1950. He worked in the Trust Department of Chase Manhattan Bank in New York until retiring as a vice president in 1979. Bob was a member of the New York State Bar Association, the Phi Beta Kappa Society, the 94th Infantry Division Association, and the Presbyterian Church of Toms River, N.J.

He is survived by his wife, Helen; two sons, Paul and Robert Barclay Jr.; and three grandchildren, Kelsey, Laura, and Grant. Our sincere condolences go to all his family.
