Centrue Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: TRUE), parent company of Centrue Bank, announced today with
deep regret the death of its long-time Director Richard J. “Dick” Berry on December 16, 2009. Mr.
Berry was 57 years old.
“Dick was recognized as a well-respected leader, a trusted colleague and a true advocate of our
Company,” remarked Chairman of the Board Dennis J. McDonnell. “More importantly, though, today we
remember Dick as a friend who touched the lives of many and who will be deeply missed by all.”
Mr. Berry had served as a Director of the former UnionBancorp, Inc. since 1985 and continued on as
a Director when the corporation merged and was re-named Centrue Financial Corporation in the fourth
quarter of 2006. At the time of his death, Mr. Berry was also serving on the Board of Directors
for the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Centrue Bank.
