Jeffrey Friedman

Jeff was a passionate, kind, thoughtful, and principled person. My main contact with him was an editor and was impressed by his talent for bringing out the best in what I wanted to express.

I just learned the shocking news about my college friend, Jeff Friedman. I met Jeff freshman year at Brown. He was one of the smartest people I have ever met. He taught me to question every assumption I had and to become a critical thinker. He was also a lot of fun and could see the humor in his different way of looking at the world.

I am so shocked to read about Jeff's untimely death. I knew Jeff from graduate school at Berkeley, and I was just going through some old photos and found this one of him. I was looking online to get his email address and saw this sad news. Please accept my deepest condolences.

Dan, Mark, Dawn, Shterna -

I had nothing to offer besides potential but he invested a great deal in me.
