It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of R’ Tzvi Yehuda Shmidt z”l.
R’ Tzvi Yehuda contracted the coronavirus and succumbed to the illness.
He and his family split their time between Brooklyn and Lakewood, NJ.
One of the proprietors of Paskesz Candy Company, R’ Tzvi Yehuda was a noted baal chesed who was supremely devoted to others.
Yehi zichro boruch.

I know the Shmidt family very well I once met Mr Shmidt and told him about a family who didn’t have money to fill up their oil tank to heat up their home for the winter he helped cover that expense plus. Nobody knows about this story plus all the other chesed that he did may his neshoma have an alliah I will miss you Tzvi
Yes, he was always willing to assist in his quiet and unassuming way, I’m shocked that he was taken, he will be missed by many a nitzrach…who can fill his shoes? I don’t think there is anyone that can…
He helped a friend of mine financially in a very significant way.
He was a very, very special man. A true Baal tzedaka and Baal chesed. A tremendous loss. Hashem should have mercy on us.
Heartbroken
Yes he helped so many discreetly. Him and his rebbitzen were balei tziddaka and chessed. Their children are all the same way!! Always thinking about another yid! Can’t believe he’s not here anymore. We will IyH greet him very soon with Mashiach!!
(He never even knew me, I know his children and grandkids, all amazing yidden)
Remember him as one of the assora rishonim for almost 20 years, every morning at 6 he would be sitting and learning at rav schorr. You will be missed.
