Richard William Friedman

Rich was so deeply committed to social work and its role in juvenile services. It was a joy to know him and a life lesson to watch him work at his adaptations to Parkinsons. When I arrived as Dean, Rich was very much engaged in helping the school to expand our juvenile justice work and, until very recently, I often had a note in my inbox about an opportunity to do so. I will miss Rich, and his reminding me of all he represented as a dedicated public servant of the highest quality. Condolences...

Richard was a warrior for social justice who could be heard by the powerful. I am proud to say he was a mentor through out my career.

My fondest memory of Uncle Richard was going to several Baltimore Orioles games as a youngster and then going to Camden Yards with Richard and Katy. I still have the Baltimore Orioles sweatshirt they bought me all those years ago. My second fondest memory is from the 1970's when the Baltimore garbage service was on strike. We took a load of trash to the dump and it was an exciting time for a young guy. I don't know why this one has stuck with me, but it has. Rest in Peace Richard.

Dear Katie. Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family on the death of Richard. I know he suffered for quite some time and he's now at peace, but that does not take away the deep loss that all of you feel at this time. May you cherish the memories and the life you shared. Sincerely, Nancy McColgan

What terribly sad news! Richard was an outstanding guy who I had the pleasure to know and count as a friend for many years as our career paths crossed. He was a soft-spoken yet passionate advocate for justice, and we served together as members of the Correctional Reform Section of the Maryland State Bar Association for many years. Just yesterday I did an extensive search on-line to see if I could find him again...and today I found him in this sad announcement. My sincere condolences to...
