Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Anthony Carl Barbara MD February 29 1932 February 19 2020.
Death notice for the town of: Exmore, state: Virginia
I am so sad to hear of his passing. He operated on almost every member of my family. He was an awesome man and amazing doctor. We were introduced to him when he was called in to do an extremely difficult surgery on my sister Magdalene Baur and was devoted to him as a miracle man ever since. He has found his place in heaven I’m sure. And I’m sure he will be extremely missed by all. My love and deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

As a classmate in medical school I recall him as a vivid, bright and enthusiastic student. There was never a doubt that his career would be an exceedingly successful and exciting one. It was a pleasure to have spent 5 years with him at the Univ. of Bologna-5 fantastic years. Rest in peace old friend.
