Barger was always known as the best dancer and best dresser in school, as he loved clothes. He knew everyone and always remembered their names. These traits carried over into his extremely successful career.

Over the course of the next 38 years, his career took him from Little Rock to San Antonio, Denver, New York, Chicago and Dallas. He retired from JC Penney in 1998 as President, Chief Operating Officer and Vice Chairman. Barger loved JC Penney, loved retail and lived and breathed his job.

He was known for his love of double breasted suits and pocket squares. Tales have been told that if you complemented his ties, he would give one to you. He was once known to own more sweaters and shoes than some of his stores. But most of all, he had a passion for his job.

He served on advisory boards for The University of Arkansas, American Studies Institute at Harding University, The National Council of La Raza, The Fashion Association, and The Fashion Institute of Technology.

Their kids described Barger with words such as kind, good, loving, good father, fashionable dresser, special, hard worker, the family anchor, always had the answer, long winded and last but certainly not the least, soft hearted.
