Cedge, you were a true gentleman and a pleaser to know; thanks for being so helpful to me in my early days of business

Cedge. So very Sorry to hear he died. And all my sincere condolences to his family. From CDS on , he was the epitome of the successful business climber in Centerre Bank who he had to sell out to Don Brandon at Boatmen´s Bank but got a nice $ parachute he needed to go on to lifetime service with Washington Univ which gave him a place to accentuate the positive. And socially up the ladder to the CLUB on Barnes Rd he took over as his own with lifetime Bellerive CDS classmates, close cohorts....

Mr. Barksdale was a wonderful leader at Centerre. While at Centerre, I was about 7 months pregnant with my second child. I was taking the elevator up and in walks Mr. Barks dale. The elevator starts and He reaches out to pay my belly, and wished me well. Freaked me out at the time but was a nice co compassionate gesture. May be rest in peace

Mr. Barksdale was the head of FNB in St. Louis when I worked there from 1980 to 1989. He was a true pillar of the Saint Louis community and was always very kind to me. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

A giant among his peers, he gave me opportunities I could only dream of. He´ll be missed by all who ever knew him. Condolences to his family and to all he touched .
