The maspidim were his Father Rav Yosef Yagen, his father in law Rav Gershon Ribner, Rav Don Segal, and Rav Malkiel Kotler. His Father in Law, Rav Gershon Ribner said it was kdai the 8 years that he was a son in law with all the yisurim in such a short time. He said how the niftar covered up much of his yesurim for the last 4 years he never complained. He was a baki in kol chelkei haTorah by his chasunah. His father remarked it was once following brain surgery on zos Chanukah that he was only able to daven shachris, when he awoke for a few seconds he saw his mother and told her, remind me to say Hallel. HE was a tremendous masmid. It was once following Yom Kippur he was engrossed in his learning and he forgot to eat the family had to bring him food. Following the Levaya the crowds walked to 7th and Forest. Kevurah will be in Eretz Yisrael.
