Although I'm ashamed to say that I really don"t know most of you and my relationship with your husband-father-grandfather was quite limited I still wanted to express to you all my heartfelt feelings of sadness on your great loss.
During the last ten years of his life I had the privilege of calling him before the Yomim Noraim and engaging him in very enjoyable conversation.
He truly was a brilliant and "varama Yid" who was proud of his Yiddishkeit and very proud of the fact that his offspring were following his "derech" .In my conversations with him I was able to discern that he was truly a רודף שלום which is an exceptional trait.
It's brought down in Seforim that the only son of Yaakov who is referred to in the Midrash as a Tzadik was Yosef. The reason for this is that he was the only one who was able to successfully integrate a Torah lifestyle with his achievements in the very secular world of Egypt. Larry who was a distinguished scientist and Ben Torah followed in the footsteps of Yosef Hatzadik
