What A Loss. he was great in every aspect, but he stood out in his endless Chesed. Always there for anyone, anywhere! May we only have Simchas.
Where can you find a Shliach who liven in acity for OVER 70 years, and NO ONE has/would ver say anything negative about them? He was a true Tzadik.
May he say REBBE genug shoin.
