Answer

Do you mean after ‘direct address’? If so, then yes, you should insert a comma after a noun of direct address. 
Examples: Dan, can you stop by the store after work?
Are you sure, Patricia, that he mean that?
I hope this helps!

Answer

Hello, Hugh.

I found this word in a dictionary. For example, you decided to write a letter or a message. You're starting with words: "Hello, my dear friend!"
I want to know how should it be: "Hello, my dear friend!" or "Hello my dear friend!".

Answer

I don’t quite understand what you mean. Can you give an example of what you mean by “form of address”?
