I remember going to his masterpiece Mamorim on Chol Hamoed and now we will be going to his Levaya on Chol Hamoed. A tremendous loss for Klal Yisroel. We lost someone who spent his whole life Areingitun in Lernen.

Baruch Dayan HaEmes. A tremendous loss for Klal Yisrael in general and Lakewood in particular. R’ Zev was someone who personified toraso umnaso. May he be a meilitz yosher for all of us.
