I used to work at CERC in the early 2000s. Dan was such a fine person and helped me professionally. I just found out recently about his passing. I extend my condolences to his family. He will be warmly remembered.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of Dan Friedman. Dan and I worked together at Einstein for more than 15 years. He was an inspiring colleague and friend.
