I stood there as he said it, Wonderful inspiring words by Reb Bennet .
In general: Look at the amazing person that Rabbi Trenk was. Look at how he gave his life to do and do and not stop doing, for other human beings. He filled a real need.
There can be hundreds like him today out there, filling needs that need to be filled for people who need them.

I’m not sure about that. You have to be very strong and resilient. Rav Trenk has those qualities too.
Let everyone do what they can for another person.
Maybe we don’t all have his energy time resources and stamina. But we can all do more for others.
