I remember him as a child. He was a special person, always with a smile

He had a twinkle in his eyes, and a keen sense of humor.

What a special individual
Champion of chassidus, the rebbe, 7 noahide laws of course if you knew him just an all a round welcoming person who opened his house and heart to others

Also for those that didn’t know he survived the war in a convent

RABBI NAFTALI WEINSTEIN O.B.M. AN ELEVATED NESHAMA WHO
TOUCHED SO MANY OTHER DIFFERENT PEOPLE. OFTEN, I ASKED MYSELF HOW COULD HE SPEAK TO SO MANY OTHERS TO CONNECT WITH THEM AS UNIQUE HUMAN BEINGS.I UNDERSTOOD
THIS MUCH BETTER IN BIOGRAPHY OF HIS ITINERARY THROUGH THE YEARS RECOUNTED IN HIS ITINERARY FROM ANTWERP TO
VICHY FRANCE AND ULTIMATELY TO FT.OSWEGO WITH A REMNANT OF HIS FAMIY. HE SPOKE IN A UNIQUELY HUMNS VOICE WITH WARMTH, INSIGHT, HUMOR, RADIATING THE LITTLE
GOODNESSES THAT MAKES LIFE WORTH LIVING. HIS REBBETZIN, SONS,CONGREGANTS OF NUSACH ARI HAVE BEEN ENRICHED BY HIS PRENCE AND MEMORY.
