I never met Aaron, but I heard he was a generous, an amazing learner and a scholar. I truly, regret that I never went and saw him in Chicago, when I had the chance. A beautiful Neshama is gone. I am so sorry that my dear Mother in Law, Rebetsin Sklar, has to mourn this loss. May we meet only for good things, please. Velvel
is a good friend of my mothers. Exceptional person, warm, Eidel, frum B”H. It’s no wonder she raised gems!!
So sorry for your loss Rochel!
May you be reunited with your precious son momentarily with Moshiach!

I remember as bocher sneaking out on Friday from morristown early and going on Mivtzayim and sneaking into Union City to learn in the afternoon. I would see him sit in a corner and fly thru shas. He would keep his feet inc old water to stay up.
I also remember being there when the SHEFA CHAIM the Kloizenberger rebbe walking in zal. When he walked near me he asked me who I was and where I learned and I then walked him to the Mikvah. He was a truly Holy Man.

Was he in Morristown NJ ‘88 ‘89? I was there at the time (if I remember correctly) he did not speak at all any דברים בטלים that is, if you asked him something he would quote a Posuk from the Torah with his answer, trying not to say English words amazing person (if it is him)
He learned in klauzenberg Yeshiva for a while, in Union city.i went to visit him there once. They had an advanced gemoro program to study Shas.

He used to repeat the fabrengens word for word to me when he was a young bachur. Was so special with so much to give BDE
I remember him as an 8 yr. old child chazering the Rebbe’s farbrengens. very very outstanding
‘
He was a Chozer who was able to remember each time the Rebbe coughed!
He was a super star in the Mifal Hashas as well.

Very Sad
