Barker memorial service will be February 12
A memorial service for Donald Barker (SMG'37), director of
internal audit at BU for more than two decades -- and known
as godfather of the University's rugby club -- will be held
at Marsh Chapel at 4 p.m. on Friday, February 12. A
reception will follow the ceremony.
Known as "Mr. B" to rugby players, Barker was heavily involved in the club since the mid-1970s. With his help, BU rugby evolved from a ragtag group of enthusiasts to a regional powerhouse. Barker died on December 25 at the age of 84.
Memorial gifts may be made to the Donald Barker Endowment Fund for Rugby at Boston University, 599 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215.
