I loved the way Dan walked through life.  A man admired and respected who set an impeccable standard of excellence with grace and integrity to successfully lead CERC through its growth, turbulent times and productive fruitful years.  An enormous loss to CERC, Einstein and the entire community who will long remember his guidance and talend as a leader.  Loved by many -- Dan shines above the rest -- He will be sorely missed.

I am saddened by the loss of Dan Friedman. We were colleagues for more than 15 years.  I will always remember his dedication and caring as well as his sense of humor.  He will be missed.

For over 20 years, Dan and I worked together ... he always came into work perfectly dressed without a hair out of place and ready to take on whatever challenge presented itself. I also remember him as " Master of the Grill" at our annual CERC bbq's. It was well-known that he looked out for his staff and took great pride in CERC and its role in serving people with disabilities. Dan's leadership ability, intelligence and wit was unsurpassed! He will truly be missed by many.

Dan has been my boss since I started at CERC in 1988. He's watched me grow up and he's played with my children (he loved giving my daughter his golf balls, which she will not part with to this day). He was a great man; a fun person outside of work and and great leader at work. He will be missed immensely.

I worked with Dan less than 2 years but loved seeing him.  I loved to tease him about how handsome and stylish he was--he loved that attention and knew I was right. But, most of all, I thank Dan for helping us invent the LEND law student fellowship program.  He had so much flair, grace and foresight and will be missed.   Sheryl Dicker( Mamaroneck,NY)

I didn't work with Dan for too long, but the time that I did was a pleasure. He will be very much missed.

I worked for Dan for 24 years. He was a man of Integrity and great leadership.  I will miss him.........Lavie Paller

I have worked with and for Dan for over 20 years.  He was not only a compassionate, diligent, dedicated and humorous director of our program but the best at the College for what he's done for the children, parents and staff of CERC. Blessings to his soulmate LIZ.  Marlyn Sanchez. (Bronx NY)

I worked with Dan for over 25 years. He was a wonderful colleague, a wonderful friend  and  was 100% dedicated to the CERC Program. Despite the enormous battle with his disease he worked for the Program and his Associate Directors of Administration and the Program Directors to maintain its fiscal viability throughout the difficult fiscal climate of the last five years. Dan always put the CERC Program "first" and he was a most exemplary administrator admired and loved by the CERC Program staff and the Central Administration of the College of Medicine. I will miss his wonderful demeanor and personality.
