Richard Gordon Barker

Dick was a fine man and Director of Union Camp R&D. I especially enjoyed working with him in publishing the R&D Newsletter. May God bless him and his surviving family.

I am very sorry to hear that Dick Barker has passed away. If I'm not mistaken, his career spanned essentially the entire existence of the Princeton Technology Center. I think he was hired shortly before it opened, and it seemed almost fitting that its closing coincided with his retirement. He is surely remembered by hundreds of people who worked under his leadership.

Sorry to hear about Dick i was out of town. Sincere condolences to the Barker familY,(union camp corp)

The sadness of the unexpected passing of Dick Barker was tempered by the many good memories of the years we spent with him at the Princeton Technology Center of Union Camp. The old oak tree on that spot will remind us of him, always. Elizabeth and I send our condolences to Mary Kathryne and the entire Barker family.

I am truly saddened to hear this news. Dr. Barker was a very special man. My condolences go out to everyone in the Barker family.

I will forever remember Mr. Barker. He was more than my little league coach. I've thought of him often since. He was truly a spectacular man. THE nicest you'd meet. He leaves me many fantastic memories. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I knew Dick for the twenty-one years I was at the Princeton lab and reported to him for much of that time. He has a fond place in my heart as an objective scientist, a fair boss and a fine gentleman. Sharon and I send our condolences to the family.

Dick was one of the Union Camp executives who interviewed me when I joined BBA in 1996. In that interview and in subsequent visits to UCC, I was impressed by his gentlemanly demeanor, and by the respect and affection he received from his staff. His passing is truly a sad loss. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

We were very saddened to read about the death of Dick; our condolences to Mary Kathyrine and his children and their families. We miss him as a neighbor.
