He came from the Soviet Union with his family at a young age, and set up their life in Israel, and later Crown Heights. They were one of the last remaining Lubavitch families to have kept up the religious Jewish fire behind the Iron Curtain, in Tashkent.

He was a simple, god-fearing and devout Jew and Chossid. His love for other people and his family is a defining character trait, and he will be missed dearly.
