I personally never really met him.
But I am a fan of his albums, I was always listening only to his tapes, recently I have started singing his songs at my Suades shabbos and yom tov and it gives me such a good and different seada.
Even I never spoke with him I felt that he will be missing, I thought that it’s just that he won’t be able to make more albums but in my feelings, I see that I am missing him much more than that.
Btw I was planning to ask him to sing a song for my business but now I don’t have with whom to replace it.
