Dear Yehuda, Sorah and family — So sorry for your loss, may Hashem comfort you all. Thinking of you…Rivkah and family
your father was a wonderful man always with a smile and a good word
we missed all the years he was gone from the shtibel
may his neshama have an aliyah and may you all be comforted among the mourners of zion and jerusalem

He was a real mentch ! Even though I live in Israel for 20 years, I often thought of him and always looked forward to seeing him when I came to Crown Heights to visit my Familly.
Good men these days are hard to find !
Reb Mendel was the real deal. He was my Father’s very good if not best friend. When my father was not well, he would come and sit with him for hours, the frierdiker rebbe once gave them a brocho to go into business together. He always had a great attitude always cheery and upbeat, he was a Chossid of the rebbe in the truest and most earnest way imaginable. We are so sad to hear of Reb Mendel’s passing, our condolences to his family.
What sad news. He was a very nice person, always had a smile, and always offered advise for a happy home………..he will be missed. I owe my life to him, and I will forever be grateful.
