BD“E he was a great guy. I remember being in yeshiva in Los Angeles over 20 years ago, he lived there and would always invite the boys over, he made us feel at home. I was very homesick and his kindness made being away from home less lonely. He also had tremendous kibud av for his Father ZT”L. Vhokeetitzu veranenu shochney offer v’hu besochom!

A selfless man who worked his whole life to give the rebbe nachas…I never saw him without a smile on his face …a true loss for ansh and klal yisroel…Hamokom yenachem eschem btoch klal avlei tzion v”yirusholaim

I met him once in what was probably a case of mistaken identity at the Ohel, but Rabbi Raichik A”H made me feel as if I knew him all my life especially when it turned out I was friends with relatives of his.
WHY???? AD MOSAI????????????????????????? Why do so many people have to leave us so early and leave families with children behind??? AD MOSAI…and may Moshiach come long before even the shiva is over so that Rabbi Raichik’s neshomo has the highest aliya which is neshomos begufim with MOSHIACH NOW!!

What a tremendous loss to Anash and world Jewry. It just means we all have to do even more acts of goodness and kindness to bring Moshiach. But who else has the connections and the enthusiasm to bring out the children from Chernobil like he did for the Rebbe and for those children?
