How do I get into the iPad when no longer in contact
You don't. Only the AppleID and passcode used to initiate
the Activation Lock can remove it. There is no workaround
for the security features of Activation Lock.
When/if you regain contact with your old friend, give him this link
so he may release the iPad for you to set up as a new iPad
using your AppleID and passcode:
before sell/give away iDevice: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Activation Lock page: https://al-support.apple.com/#/getsupport
