phillybubby – I believe it’s Lakewood. His wife is from Chicago – and that’s where his father in law Rabbi Keller lives – also has brothers in law and a sister in law here in chicago. Prominent family!
A truly wonderful person. I knew him. He will be missed. We need Moshiach.

Actually, he has three sisters – Rivki, Devora, who happens to be his twin sister I believe, and Shulamis, wh lives in Beitar.
He was a gaon in Torah and well loved by his rebbe Rav Dovid Soloveitchik of Brisk
