We knew Yanki as a uniquely high spirited Jew. Always finding humor in everything that happened to him and those around him, he was much beloved for his overflowing energy and positive attitude.
He was a special soul who marched to his own drum, but always respected our laws and traditions. May he have a good seat at the farbrengen.
