Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
I grew up in Melbourne where he and his family were important foundations. I remembered when I got my PhD in Computer Science that I was told he was a talented programmer. I never even knew he had his own PhD. He sat in the same back seat, non descript, always with a Sefer in front of him. As I grew up I occasionally asked him about some passuk I didn’t have the brain to understand. I would say 2 or 3 times I managed a smile. I clearly remember the last day I saw him in Melbourne.

Hamokom yinachem eschem besoch shear availai tzion vyrushlaim. May you have arichas yomim vshonim tovos. MOSHIACH NOW!! Vhaikitu vraninu shochnei ofor vhu besochom I’m harebbe nosi doreinu
Definitely a Tzadik among us. No doubt. Not a bad bone. The contrary: he was 100% righteousness
a truly great man. Will be greatly missed.
what a shock.
a fine and beautiful Jew if there ever was one.
enough is enough.
moschiach and techias hameisim right now!!!!!!
So sorry to hear the news. He was such a brilliant and holy Jew. Isser Goldstein. Los Ángeles
I only met him twice, but it was very clear he was a real mentch and someone who cared about torah
Ribbono Shel Olam, why the finest most exemplary people? May Rabbi Perlow, ah tzaddik a yid, plead for us before the keesai hakovod to end this painful,incomprehensible gallus NOW mamosh. May the family have nechama from the fact that his beautiful middos and lee’mud torah brought a great deal of Hashem’s light into the world and undoubtedly brought Moshiach closer.
I worked with Reb Yosef for almost fifteen years and never met such a fine person. He was not only an amazing person, but he was an extremely gifted programmer – a true genius, but so humble, always with a smile.
He will be greatly missed.
BDE
Beyond words, always a smile, helped dozens of people without fanfare , a huge talmid chochom, kind, wise, will sorely be missed!!!!

Baruch Dayan Emes,
משיח עכשין!!
He was pure goodness. Brilliant, Learned, so humble, and generous. He never brought attention to himself, yet always helped others
A Tzadik a yid, and all in a humble and quiet way There is a lot to learn from him.
What a special person, sweet kind, great Yiras Shomayim. A Big Baal Tzedaka and was always there to help others, myself included! we will miss you.
The smartest and kindest man I know
A tremendous bal tzedaka! He helped me and many others in our time of need
One of a kind. A quiet, respectful person who helped people with tzedaka to no end. May his neshama have an aliyah
What a terrible loss! Such a mench. So aidel- the epitome of הצנע לכת. So kind and generous. Always doing chesed with no fanfare. The ultimate quiet acheiver. May his neshoma soar to the highest realms and demand an end to this very bitter galus
Never in our lives shall we have such a yiras shamayim in our midst.
BS”D ps Someone one enjoyed being around
BS”D my dealings with him showed a very pleasant gentle and nice man, a tremendous loss to the clal Yisroel
Always had a candy in his pocket. All children were his “children”
