I was a patient of Dr. Freedman for about five years. The professional observations and advice I received from him were always given with warmth and reassurance, two things the afflicted need and want. Thank you Dr. Freedman. Shalom.

Our entire family, Bonnie, Richard, Jeff and Toby extend our condolences to Mal's family. Trenton was where it all began. Mal and I knew each from when we were teenagers.

To the Freedman Family I want to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. In the early sixties Mal worked in the Trenton Post office while going to Dental School. He would pick me up buy me breakfast and then go to School so that he would receive credits for his work. He had a GREAT personality and a Zest for Life!
