no words can fully appreciate someone who grew up in a totally desolate city, who’s friends and relatives became accomplished professionals, and yet he clung to Torah not only in his early years but also later on in life after learning in Lakewood, he maintained sedarim in the Yeshiva in Detroit, active sedarim where he learned out loud and when his chavrusa disagreed it became very loud, also he would walk on Shabbos from far and in the frigid weather trek through snow just to daven where he learned each day, and boy was he a Yerei Shomayim.
May he rest in peace
