Nebech, nebech a Yid that had the right idea that he should WORK to support his family, that this should have happened to. His nishama should have an aliya.
What a Gevaldige Yid!
I was a neighbor of his and not once had he forgotten to greet me with his special smile and a warm good morning! May his Neshama have an Aliya.
He will never be forgotten.
I am a real close family member, (if I would say what it would give away my identity) all I can say is, “no words can describe his kindness and love of helping someone and the love of torah he had as was mentioned. I Really Loved You and really Miss You!!!
