Barry L. Swick, M.D., 73, of Charlotte, NC passed away Thursday, September 24, 2020. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend.

Barry is lovingly described as a selfless, loyal, and dedicated friend and doctor. He would regularly go above and beyond the standard of care for his patients; all patients received a follow up care call from the doctor himself, and they were treated like family. Barry was the family jokester and loved to make people laugh. He had many hobbies and interests to include swimming, driving, bike riding, and going to the gym. Barry took pride in cycling the Pan Mass Challenge numerous times. He enjoyed smoking cigars with close friends, and listening to Rock n’ Roll, especially Jerry Garcia and the Beatles.

Barry was very fond of traveling. He went to medical school in Belgium, traveled to Israel with his wife, Maureen, and would frequently attend his son Michael’s hockey games in Canada. After medical school, Barry worked as an anesthesiologist. Later he specialized in orthopedics, and tackled challenging spinal concerns, and partnered up with the Professional Orthopedic Association in Shrewsbury, NJ, where he was beloved by not only his patients, but his colleagues as well.

Barry loved his Jewish faith and traditions. He faithfully attended synagogue at Brothers of Israel, where he cherished time with his community.

He is survived by his loving wife Maureen of 33 years; son James Hoffman of Charlotte, NC; son Daniel Hoffman, his wife Kelly and grandson Dylan of Bayville, NJ; son Michael Swick, and his wife Delia of Charlotte, NC; and daughter Marguerite Sackman, and her husband Alexander of Charlotte, NC; sister Anle Berger and husband Arthur of Wayside, NJ; sister Danille Swick of NY; and his steadfast furry friend Beau, Barry’s Shiloh Shepherd. He was also beloved by all of Maureen’s brothers and sisters, who he left many lasting impressions upon.

Burial Services for Barry will be Sunday, September 27th at 10:30 am at Monmouth Fields Jewish Cemetery, N. Linden Ave, West Long Branch, NJ. To share a favorite memory of Barry or send a message of condolence please visit his page of tributes at www.woolleyboglioli.com.

Dear Maureen and family, I will always remember Barry as a wonderful colleague, doctor and friend. I met Barry when he transferred to Hahnemann Medical School and was my dear classmate and end of the alphabet buddy ( Swick / Tabolsky). I am grateful for his kindness and support as a female medical student and doctor at Monmouth Medical Center. Barry was a compassionate physician caring for my family and his patients. He was always smiling and loved to chat with me about our families and his passion for biking. Rest In Peace Barry. Wendy T. Shertz DiPietro

Maureen, so sorry for your loss. Barry was a great guy, always treated me so well, even when i was new to MMC and medicine. He was a great anesthesiologist, and likewise treated patients with care and respect. His spirit carries on in all he know taught and worked with :-)

My condolences to Maureen and the rest of Barry's family. He was a great guy. I enjoyed working with him in the OR at Monmouth Medical Center. He will be missed. Al Zaccaria

We treasure our memories and shared friendship with Mo & Barry. Such fun we had in Cape May, Juty 4th fireworks, concerts, tailgating and chillaxin fun at the pool! Barry saves my life in 1987. When I saw his face as I rolled into the ED at MMC, I felt safe. He truly left a legacy through his relationships and through his children. We are sad today and will fill our hearts with great memories. ?

Dear Maureen, So sad to hear about Barry, He was a great doctor and person. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Kathy Kelly

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am saddened to read of Barry’s passing. I worked with your father/husband when I was a registered nurse in Labor and Delivery at Monmouth Medical Center. He was a professional and treated everyone well. He was a breath of fresh air to his department. Living in Ocean Township I would periodically run into him, he would stop and converse for a while. He was truly a person who will be missed by all. My heartfelt condolences, he will be missed.

I've known Barry since the early days of my professional career. We did many cases together, both in the D.R. and the O.R. He was always a pleasure to work with, had a fantastic rapport with patients, and was a superb anesthesiologist. I went to medical school in Holland, he went to Belgium and we would often compare notes. He was a great doctor and a great person and I will miss him. Our condolences to Maureen and the rest of his family. Rest in peace, my friend.

Dear Maureen- I’m sure you don’t remember me but I worked with you at Point Pleasant/Brick Hospitals. My condolences to you and your family. May your strength carry you thru the hard days ahead.

We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Barry. He was truly a nice guy! We're sure he will be greatly missed.

Barry was a great friend and one of the kindest people I have ever met. It was Barry who, when he heard about a charity I started called Coach4Food, whereby I trade my professional coaching to young hockey teams in exchange for them doing a food drive for my local food bank, got the story to Bruce Springsteen. Coach4Food was inspired by The Boss's work with food banks and Barry's persistence led to a meeting between myself, my wife and Bruce in his dressing room at the Meadowlands before a sold out concert. He was selfless, funny and generous. I will miss that New York accent calling me "Tam, Tam, Tam how you doin?" Rest in peace my brother.

Dear Maureen, James, Dan, Mike and Maggie, My deepest sympathies. I am grateful for the opportunity I had to get to know Barry. A cherished husband and wonderful father that undoubtably will be missed. I hope you feel the love you have shared, many memories and the love of family and friends warmly wrapped around you at this time. May Barry rest in eternal peace and his love and presence be with you always. Love to all of you. Deb Trautman

I am so sorry to hear of Barry's passing. Roz and I knew him both as a good friend in Shul and professionally as well. In recent years when he returned to Long Branch, we did not exchange handshakes we bearhugged. He was so kind and a wonderful friend. Roz and I both had our musculoskeletal problems also, so he was also our doctor. He always had time for us and we were not just patients, he cared so much. He gave us his personal number if we needed it, and one time on a trip to Canada we did call him from the road. We have a lost a wonderful person and friend. I hope all of his family can take solace from the good memories of Barry.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
