A tremendous loss for Klal Yisroel. In many ways, he was like a father to me and had a very strong influence on my life, since I was a child. So much for all to learn from and to grow from him. From where he came and from what he became and accomplished in his life. His warm voice and eyes are still very much alive in my heart. May he be a special Melitz Yosher for his beautiful family and all of Klal Yisroel and May we be zoche to the Geual Shlaima b’karov Mamish!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Reb Fishel

I remember working with him in BP. It was mamosh bchol drochecha deieihu. He cared for every one like a father to a child! I think of him as a tzadik!
May he shine brachos down and bring moshiach now!

Wonderful man, A”H. A ‘tzadik.’ Painful…awful. “Hamakom yinachem eschem b’soch sha’ar availay Tzion v’Yerushalayim.”
