Birth date: Jun 14, 1956 Death date: May 2, 2026
Andrew Jay Friedman, 69, passed away on May 2nd in Boca Raton, Florida after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Born in the Bronx, New York to Merna and Arnold Friedman, Andrew grew up in Rockaway Beach, NY and was a graduate of Read Obituary
We grew up together in Rockaway. We would play together and his mom, Mickey, would give us snacks. His house had green aluminum siding.
Andy was one of my first high-volume customers I dealt with on a regular basis in the paper industry, and I cannot thank him enough for his guidance and patience while I was getting acclimated to that world. He was always a pleasure to work with and I was grateful to meet him a few times in person.
We continued to in touch even after I stopped handling his region. He will be greatly missed. -SL
Andy was a shining light in all his relationships, he was upbeat, the first to offer a helping hand, saw the positive in everyone, and it was a joy to be in his company. I will cherish our 40 year relationship. He will be sorely missed, and never ever forgotten

To the Friedman family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the opportunity to work with Andrew at Veritiv, and although we were in different regions, he was always kind, supportive, and willing to help his coworkers. He made a positive impression on everyone he interacted with.
He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
