He would check Mezuzos for Mivtzoim for free, and was always in a good mood around the bochurim. That meant a lot, since for us Pittsburgh bochurim, even then, having two Shluchim of the Frierdiker Rebbe around (him and Rabbi Altein A”H) – they might as well have been Tannaim.

Later, well into his mid-90s, I would still frequently see him in 770, davening with the Rebbe’s minyan.

A very special Chossid. BD”H.
