Obituary of Dr. Robert H. Friedman
IN THE CARE OF

Levine Chapels

.

Dr. Robert H. Friedman, of Newton on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Although Alzheimer’s marked his last decade, Dr. Friedman never lost his infectious smile nor the twinkle in his eyes.

A proud native Californian, and son of Nathan Jay and Virginia Friedman (Hamerslag), he graduated from Harvard College and Stanford Medical School. He married his medical-school classmate, Dr. Rochelle Friedman (Rame), and together they raised four daughters, Jordana, Alissa, Heather and Tamar Friedman.

A pioneer in the field of medical infomedics, Dr. Friedman led a novel program in computer applications of medicine at Boston University Medical School. As a practicing physician in internal medicine, he cared for patients with warmth, compassion, and humor. In his free time, he pursued a wide range of passions including winemaking, travel, gustatory discoveries, and the arts. He was always insatiably curious, eager to try anything new, opinionated, loyal, and generous.

In addition to his adored wife, Dr. Friedman is survived by his cherished daughters, sons-in-law, nine grandchildren, and siblings, John Friedman and Diane Brett.
