He founded a general law practice in the city known today as Friedman, Pachino & Garcia and as counsel to Beth Tfiloh helped procure the land on which the Old Court Road synagogue was built. In 1971 he served as vice president of the Baltimore City Bar Association.
Mr. Friedman, who enjoyed golf and handball, retired in 1989.
"People relied on my father for help and friendship," said Gloria Pachino, his oldest daughter. "He loved sports, and the Orioles were a passion. I remember once he and my brother were watching three different games on three different TVs at once."
In addition to his daughter Gloria, he is survived by a son, Miles Friedman of Pikesville; a second daughter, Barbara Goldman of Pikesville; three brothers, Sidney and Philip, both of Baltimore, and Norman Friedman of Del Ray, Fla.; and eight grandchildren.
