A big Baal Tzedaka with a big heart. His petira was not at all sudden. He has been ill for a while.
A tzadik i personally was the recipient of his magnanimous tzedakah in more ways than one.
When it came to Tzedakah he was color blind. He gave to so many different and diverse causes
Why are u saying he as blind?
I will never forget the kindness and love he showed to me and my family. He had such a big heart and amazing generosity. He will be missed by many. May his memory be for a blessing. Love you Mr. E.
May God bless you and keep you with peace and comfort you have my deepest sympathy love and support
