DAVID BERMAN

BERMAN--David, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and physician, passed away at 92 on Sunday, August 14th, 2022, in New York City. He was born in Brooklyn, New York to Goldie and Charles Berman. He attended Erasmus Hall High School, Columbia College (1951) and the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (1955). After a rotating internship, he was a lieutenant and then captain in the United States Army, serving as a health inspector in NATO bases in eastern France, after which he trained in pediatrics as a resident at Jacobi Hospital in New York. He had a long and distinguished career as a pediatrician in solo private practice in Bayside, providing meticulous and compassionate care to his patients from all over Queens and Nassau over a period of 50 years. He was a modest but learned man who loved history, literature, politics, travel, music, food, art, and baseball, but most of all people; he had a passion for justice and fairness which he expressed mainly in his acts. He is survived and will be sorely missed by his wife Sharon, his sons Joshua (Claudia Brennan) and Jay (Jordana) and grandchildren Abigail, Alexander, Karen, and Rachel.
