Mamesh shocking. I grew up with him all the yrs in Nitra shul. He was probably the most loved man in the shul. He was an extremely funny and Geshmakeh guy. Always with such a cheerful demeanor. It’s a shock because he was a totally well and active person till the last day. Nebech. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

BDE. What a special persona. I did business with him for about a year and he has taught me a lot. He was extremely honest, came on time to a meeting and was a real mentch.

He woke up each morning to learn at 5AM. He once mentioned to me that he has not come late to a Shachris in years (I cant remember how many years but I remember how it blew me away and made such an impression on me ).

May his neshama have an aliya. BDE
