Reb Shloime Drimmer z”l

It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Reb Shloime Drimmer z”l. He was 71.

Reb Shloime was the owner of Drimmer’s A&B Home Appliances in Brooklyn, NY and used his success in business to help numerous individuals and Mosdos.

Reb Shlomo was a son of R’ Klonimus Kalman and Batya Drimmer, Holocaust survivors who rebuilt their lives in New York. His parents, Spinka chassidim, lived near Rabbi Leibel Groner in Crown Heights, and it was due to their friendship that Shlomo learned in the Lubavitcher Yeshiva and became a Chabad chossid.

As a bochur, Shlomo used to frequent the Flores seforim store in Crown Heights, and worked in the store for some time as well. When the owner of the store moved out of Crown Heights during the “White Flight” of the 60s, Shlomo, knowing of the Rebbe’s battle to preserve the community, purchased the store just so it should not close down.

Reb Shlomo was known as an outstanding baal chesed. Yidden knew that they could turn to him for a generous donation accompanied by a smile and a warm word.

He is survived by his wife, Chaya, and their children, Levi Drimmer (Miami, FL), Henny Preger (Five Towns), Devorie Piekarski (Crown Heights), Raizel Drimmer (Crown Heights), and Avrohom Drimmer (Crown Heights).

The levayah is being held now, followed by kevurah at Old Montefiore Cemetery.

Yehi zichro boruch.
