DANIEL BERNICK

Daniel Bernick, on December 22, 2020. Beloved husband of Elizabeth "Libby" Bernick (nee Rhoads). Loving father of Lee, Andrew, and Nina. Dear brother of Reuben and David. Dan was a graduate of Williams College, and received his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and M.B.A. from the Wharton School of Business. As a long-time partner at The Health Care Group, Dan was proud to work with medical practices and help physicians with their business arrangements as they started or ended their medical careers. Dan served the community as a board member at Congregation Or Shalom and as president of the men's club. Dan was a life-long learner, whether it was teaching himself how to tie flies to catch the elusive brown trout in nearby Valley Creek, taking swimming lessons to improve his endurance, or learning how to speak Hebrew with friends. Dan loved to travel with his wife and family, and could be found at any museum lingering to learn well past the time when all others had moved on to the coffee shop. His squash buddies nick-named him Bulldog for his strong hits against the back wall and tenacious game. A favorite activity was reading on the back patio, with a cup of wicked strong coffee and his beloved dog basking in the sun beside him. Even through his illness, he shared his quiet strength and kind spirited humor with those around him. His memory will be a blessing to all who knew him. Graveside services will be private. Contributions in his memory may be made to Congregation Or Shalom, 835 Darby-Paoli Road, Berwyn, PA 19312 or the Tredyffrin Public Library, 582 Upper Gulph Road, Strafford, PA 19087.
