We announce with deep sorrow the passing of Barry D. Hogan, aged 77, of Manheim Township, Lititz, PA. He departed this world on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, at LGH/Penn Medicine Hospital. A native son of Lancaster, Barry was the cherished child of the late John A. and Leah (Roth) Hogan.

Barry's academic journey was marked by early years at the esteemed Staunton Military Academy in Virginia, followed by his graduation from Manheim Township High School. He furthered his education at Nichols College in Dudley, MA. Inspired by his experiences and a deep sense of gratitude, Barry established the Barry D. Hogan 67' Endowed Scholarship. This benevolent gesture has already benefitted countless students over the past years and promises to support many more in the years to come.

Throughout Lancaster County, Barry's name became synonymous with real estate development. With an enduring love for Lancaster at his core, Barry transformed skylines and neighborhoods, passionately working on numerous projects, notably the esteemed Bent Creek Country Club. Barry's involvement also spanned the foundation of several restaurants, enhancing the culinary scene of Lancaster County. His commitment to the community shone brightly with his contributions to the Hogan & Herr Children's Library.

Outside his professional life, Barry was a man of diverse interests. He reveled in time spent with his beloved family, especially his grandchildren, and spending time at his second home in Avalon, NJ. A golfer at heart, he held memberships at Bent Creek Country Club, Wildwood Country Club, and Stone Harbor Golf Club. Barry's penchant for history was evident in his vast collection of early American Historical glass, one of the nation's finest. He was also an avid collector of Pennsylvania folk art and early Americana.

Barry leaves behind a loving family: daughter Kimberly McDade and her husband Wayne of Lancaster; son John Hogan of El Paso, TX; devoted companion Robin Lapi of Lititz; stepchildren Noel Sturgeon (Jeff), Alexandra Perate, Sydney Grubbs (Philip), and Olivia Perate. He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Sierra, Sommer, Austin; step-grandchildren Wolf, Bode, Asa, and Tripp; and great-grandchild Bentlee. His special sister, Jere (Roth) Lovellete, and a host of cousins and extended family in Georgia will cherish his memories.

A Celebration honoring Barry's Life will be held at his cherished Bent Creek Country Club, 620 Bent Creek Dr., Lititz, PA 17543, on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at 4p.m, a club he helped develop. The family will receive friends from 2-4 p.m. in the ballroom of Bent Creek. The interment will be private at Conestoga Memorial Park Mausoleum.
