Saul will be greatly missed by the community of Australian corporate law scholars to which he contributed significantly, not only his scholarship but also his friendship, energy, independence of mind and expression, and sometime iconoclasm. He was such a lively, interesting and engaging man. i imagine many others here will be sharing my deep sorrow, sense of loss, confusion, regret but, most of all, sympathy for the family members whom Saul so clearly loved. You are held in many Australian hearts.

Dear Janet, Gerald, Sam and Family, Mousumee and I want to send our most heartfelt condolences to you at this sad time. Saul was a dear friend of mine for twenty years, and I just can't believe that he's no longer with us. That breaks my heart. But I will always remember his generosity and his passion and his irreverence. I'm a richer person for having been able to spend so much time with him when we were both young academics in Australia. In shared sorrow, Ian

To the family of Saul, I offer my sympathy at the loss of Saul. I am sorry I was not able to help more than I did. I saw him the day before he moved house, sat with him while he organized electricity and gas connections at the new house, and visited him on the Thursday after he moved in (I'm pretty sure that was 22 May) and helped him organize a resident's parking permit and to unpack just one box of work papers. I fully intended to go back the next Thursday to see if we might unpack one more box but something came up, so that was the last time I saw him or spoke to him. He was a good friend and colleague when we both worked at the University of Sydney Law school. As I told him several times, he had a rare talent for explaining his areas of law in simple interesting language. He brought a genuinely critical eye to the world, unencumbered by any desire to conform to anyone else's opinions or be approved of by anyone else. It is a great shame that he was unable to get through this difficult period of life and go on to better things. I'll miss him, Yours sincerely, Brett Williams

Dear Janet- (It has been many years, but perhaps you will remember me from the Guy Lombardo Music Centre.) Although I didn't know him personally, I was very saddened to hear about your son's death. Of all illnesses, those pertaining to mental health are among the most difficult to deal with and the most heartbreaking when they cannot be cured. My sincerest condolences go out to you, Gerald and the rest of your extended family. If you ever wish to contact me concerning this or anything else, please do not hesitate, as I have always considered you a friend. Gino

On behalf of my mother, Arliss Miller, we both wish to extend our condolences to the Fridman family. Saul was my classmate at Talmud Torah and we re-connected two years ago, when the school was planning the 100th Anniversary. He could not make the reunion, due to teaching committments, but we both laughed reading emails back and forth. Many of Saul's TT classmates have fond memories of him, even though your years in Edmonton were short. My parents, Arliss and Tevie also remember Gerald and Janet warmly. Wishing you all the best, Lisa Miller

My deepest sympathy to Janet, Gerald and the family in the loss of your son, Saul. My heart is heavy, having also lost a son at the same age several years ago due to a mental health disorder. I hope and pray time will heal the wounds and bring you peace. May God rest his soul.

It was my privilege to call Saul a close friend for 38 years. Easily the most intelligent and entertaining person I've known, he was intellectually curious, generously sociable and fun to be around. He brought people together. Time spent with Saul, whether laughing or arguing, was never dull. It is sad to think he forgot, or perhaps never knew, how much he enriched the lives around him. I shall miss him.

Dear Gerald, Janet, and family, I read Saul's obituary in the Globe this morning. I am so sorry for your loss and send you my sincere condolences. As it happens, I was in London today for meetings and looked for you Gerald to convey my condolences in person, but, not surprisingly, I did not find you. I did not know that Saul suffered from depression and am so sorry that he found life no longer bearable. I remember Saul as a very talented, bright, and cheerful man and enjoyed having lunch with him on a number of occasions when he returned to London for visits. He was also a kind man. Once, when I expressed interest in the development of Equity in Australia, he arranged to send me complimentary copies of a number of Australian texts on the subject. I was very touched by that act of kindness and generosity. I pray that you will find much comfort in the circle of family and friends during this very difficult time. With a sad heart, but with very best wishes to you all, I am Your colleague and friend, Albert Oosterhoff
