Vicepresident killed inNewYear's eveaccident by Becky Raetsch assistant news editor
On the evening of Dec. 31, 1996, John J. Barclay, vice president for finance and • administration, was killed by an oncoming truck while returning after a day in Cochran, Georgia, performing missionary work with the Glenmary priests at a local prison. Father Tom Kirkendoll, Barclay's colleague with whom he was leaving the prison grounds, was driving the car and sustained serious head injuries. Barclay's death leaves a huge void in the Cabrini community as well as in his Bensalem parish where he was a communicant for nine years, Cabrini's campus and, of course, his family. "I believe that John left this earth doing what he loved most, community service," college president Dr. Antoinette Iadarola said in an announcement distributed through the campus community. Barclay forfeited countless vacations to help those in need and devoted bis life to volunteering for charitable causes. He was an active
board member of CATCH, Inc., a base service •for the Community Mental· Health Corporation in Philadelphia; a member of the St. Charles Seminary Institutional Planning Committee; a member of the Parish Council and director of the RICA Program for St. Elizabeth Seton in Bensalem; a meinber of the Planning Committees for the Purple Astor Award and the Boy Scouts of America. He also taught courses on the New Testament to elementary teachers at the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in 1991, and from 1982-1995, he trained and directed the activities of high school students in the production and sale of products. In addition to working endlessly in volunteer situations, he also put his life into Cabrini College since he started in 1989. He was responsible for all business office functions; purchasing; budgeting and plan-ning; monitoring investments; physical plant and housekeeping departments; administrative services; capital projects; risk management; and legal affairs. He is survived by his mother, Ruth; a sister, Ruth; .and four brothers, Paul, Robert, David,

With the tragic and unexpected death of John Barclay, vice president for finance and administration at Cabrini College, many questions are surfacing about how Barclay's duties will be handled and whether or not the deadlines for certain projects that he was responsible for, such as SPARC and the new apartments, will remain on target. When asked about Barclay's duties and how they would be handled, Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, president of Cabrini, said that she would be working with Mike Caranfa, chief physical plant officer,and that projects such as Sacred Heart renovations and the new sport complex that fell under Barclaywill continue on time._ Everything is following a time line and coming along very well, accordingto Iadarola. Iadarola also said that a national search for Barclay's position is presently occurring,but that it_will

Barclay held many responsibilities at Cabrini such as business office duties, physical plant and housekeeping duties and monitoring investments. Cindy Falcone, accountingmanager and controller,has taken on the bulk of Barclay's responsibilities. Since part of the business office
was restructured in October, many of Barclay's job duties were given to Falcone at that time. Some of her duties consist of accountspayable and receivable,as well as payroll, relating to the budget. Falcone said students should not worry about the completion of SPARC. "SPARC has begun and it will continue. We are all corritnittedto SPARC,"she said. Falcone said there has not been any back log in tenns of payroll and that all employees have received their paycheckson time. If she does need help with the things such as the budget, she has budget consultants whom she will contact. When asked about her feelings on Barclay's death, Falcone said, "It was a tremendous loss. He was a vital part of the success of this college." • "He exemplified core values, which is the mission of Cabrini College," Iadarola said.
