Fat Man said...

May his memory be for a blessing.

My own memories of him are very fond. I was an undergraduate at Chicago in the late '60s. He was always willing, even in that politically fraught era, when he was a lonely voice, to talk to students and to discuss issues with them as an adult and a teacher. It was only later that I realized how correct he was. But, in my youth it was his humanity and his good will that attracted my admiration.

Another memory is that a friend of mine, then a rookie assitant professor, now about to assume emeritus status, told me that Professor Friedman was the smartest man on the University of Chicago faculty.
