Personal Life
According to a 2007 article in Commentary magazine, his "parents were moderately observant, but Friedman, after an intense burst of childhood piety, rejected religion altogether." He described himself as an agnostic.
Friedman wrote extensively of his life and experiences, especially in 1998 in his memoirs with his wife Rose, titled Two Lucky People. He died of heart failure at the age of 94 years in San Francisco on November 16, 2006. He was survived by his wife (who died on August 18, 2009) and their two children, David, who is a philosopher and anarcho-capitalist economist, and Janet. David's son, Patri Friedman, is the executive director of the Seasteading Institute.
