    I was there. It was incredible. There were closer to 400 people there this evening not 100.
    It was a truly chassidishe farbrengen. With the “pnei”, the real chassidishe Lubavitchers participating. It was a very warm real “chassidim ain Mishpocha” feeling
    May his neshama have an aliya and may he be a melitz yosher for the entire family and klall yisroel.. I heard just wonderful words from everyone there.

    I remember his constant smile even in the last few months of his life…how as a true Rov he would hesitate when answering a very simple shyla (as to make one think that the question had merit).He is surely missed by all of us.
