September 16, 2016 at 12:00 amPlease accept my condolences on the loss of a wonderful man. As much as your family is distinguished by enviable accomplishments, you are far more distinguished by your character, your kindness and your generosity of spirit. It was a privilege to be invited into the Friedman house and to be treated like family. There was always warmth, humor and laughter to be found. Gretchen Ford
