Barry Bricklin Obituary

Bricklin Barry, PhD Aged 90, of Wayne, PA, passed away on January 19, 2024. He was a deeply loved husband, father, brother, son and friend. He was a loving, kind, and generous man known for his great wit and insightful guidance. Barry is survived by his brother Alan (Bonnie), sons Brian (Andi) and Scott (Nathalie), daughters Carol (Herman) and Alisa, and grandchildren Ben, Kira, Harry, Caitlin, Robin, and Sarah. He was preceded in death by his wife Patricia and brother Mark. Barry was a celebrated psychologist and author. He and his wife Patricia, one of the most celebrated psychologists of her generation, hosted one of the first call-in radio programs and later a television program, which focused on psychology and family issues. He dedicated his career to helping others through psychological evaluation, consultation, psychotherapy, and scholarship. He dedicated his final years to researching and sharing the latest developments in neuroscience and psychology. In recent years, he kept in touch with colleagues, patients and friends with fascinating social media posts. He loved music and the arts and was an avid reader and an expert at pop trivia. His family is honoring his wish not to have a funeral. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Dr. Patricia M. Bricklin Scholarship Fund at Widener University by visiting widener.edu and selecting "Make a Gift." May Dr. Barry Bricklin rest in peace, and may his memory be cherished by all who knew and loved him.

Mark Van Tassel _ so many memories of the guy everyone wished was their dad. A lot of memories are better left between Brian , Scott and I. But know that we always loved and respected you. I said this when I first heard you were gone. I you haven't rewashed dishes with BB you haven't lived. Not often but Bb did occasionally lose his temper he raised voice but didn't yell and even when he was ranting he ranted to the sky not directly at you . I think with me he realized I was always going to be there so why not use me as his ear to rid himself of things that were annoying him about us so that he was always calm cause he would vent while we washed dishes but not just the dirty ones the clean ones too cause those kids are idiots and don't know how to wash a dish. Then we would go through the trash and wash things he considerd too dirty to throw away. Haven't you kids heard of ants. Lol I love you BB glad you lived to here my songs and also I got to tell VTL-VAN TASSEL/LISA LOVES YOU ROCK ON

We lost a great man last week, Dr. Barry Bricklin. He was a class act, an interesting and nice man. He was the Father of my friends Scott & Brian Bricklin who headed up my favorite local band The Schoolboys and BRICKLIN, and Martin's Damn. His support of them was amazing. There was never a concert, and I saw them hundreds of times, that he and his wife missed. They were always there, weeknight, far away gigs, etc. ...always there. I was lucky enough to know him and talk to him on Facebook the last couple years, discussing his posts that were so interesting about psychology. Rest in Peace Doc. You are missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Bricklin family
