Knew him well as a boucher

I cannot believe it … I dont understand …
If it wasn’t for Rabbi Schmuel Reich I would have never had the opportunity to go to yeshiva. This is so sudden wow. He was a cool guy and truly a beacon. He helped me with choosing my Hebrew name and getting my dam brit. He was a good man. Why did this happen? He was still young. So much more he could of accomplished.
This is why we need Moshiach NOW!!!
I was a post-smicha bochur working as a cashier in Miami, about 9 years ago. That’s when I met Rabbi Reich. We had a long conversation, although I don’t remember what we spoke about. He extended a very warm and open invitation to his home in Tampa for any shabbos.

May you be comforted among the mourners of Yisroel. May you know only smichas.
He was such a sweet person, a real shliach of the Rebbe, .
יהי זכרו ברוך
What is going on lately so many young people dying
As always God takes the best ones
What could be the reason???
Instead of crying maybe we should actually do something about it
Moshiach now!!!
Ad mosai!!!
Doesn’t have to be *instead* of crying though
ברוך דיין האמת
He was such a good person, a kind-hearted soul. He was always looking to help everybody and do the Rebbe’s shlichus. May his soul be a מליץ יושר for his family and the rest of כלל ישראל
ברוך דיין האמת
Rabbi Reich guided me when I was making teshuva. He had a profound impact on me and this is just shocking. Moshiach now
This is so tragic, I’m so sorry to hear of this loss. Hashem should comfort the whole family with the only true comfort, return him with moshiach immediately.
