He felt like everyone else. I only observed him from the side, and I’ll miss him.

I just saw him erev Rosh Hashona by the Ohel and said hello and he responded with his signature warm smile. He was such a varme Chassidishe Yid, aside from being a talmid chochom of note who was immersed in learning like no one I ever saw, he was a Baal middos tovos. He was so humble. I’ll never forget Sukkos the year we learned by him, how he jumped on the back of the pickup truck we were going to use for the sukka mobile to pick up from his house a certain tool we needed.
