Daniel Molnar

Daniel Molnar, of Franklinville and formerly of Berlin, entered the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ, on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, at the age of 79. Dan was the beloved husband of Kathleen O. Molnar (nee Tallman) and the devoted father of Laura Tedeschi, Jamie Barcia (Eunice), and Steven Molnar (Kara). He was a proud grandfather to Samantha, Joseph, Cosmo, Nico, Evangeline, Declan, Elliston, and Evelyn; great-grandfather to Brooklyn; and a dear uncle to Greg Molnar and many other nieces and nephews.
A pillar of the Berlin Borough community, Dan dedicated years of service as Chairman of the Board of Health, a fire company truck driver and pump operator, and a member of the Rotary Club and Berlin Business Association. He also contributed his time to the ICCA parade and pageant committee and served as a local Code Enforcer. His passion for music and tradition was evident as a founding member of the Palmyra String Band, where he served as Drill Instructor, Music Director, and Marshall. In business, he was the "founding father" of Horsefeathers and 91 South Hair Salon. His 60 years in business marked the longest tenure in Berlin's history.
Above all, Dan loved the Lord with all his heart, soul, and mind. He served faithfully as a Deacon, Elder, and worship team member within several church families. To his many loyal clients, Dan was more than a barber; to sit in his chair was to spend time with a living legend and a true friend.
Relatives and friends are invited to pay their respects on Friday evening, January 2, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00PM, and again on Saturday morning, January 3, 2026 from 9:00 to 10:00AM at COSTANTINO-PRIMO FUNERAL HOME, 231 W. White Horse Pike, Berlin. A funeral service will follow on Saturday at 10:00AM at the funeral home. Interment will take place at Berlin Cemetery.
