I believe he was a alter bachor at the time of his passing learning in Lakewood.

A few month ago the Yated printed his bio.

Any other gedolim buried in Maimonides. I am not sure about the inside condition but the entrance on Jamaica is horrid. How did end up in this cemetery.
In short:
He became ill at age 4 and as result both legs got paralyzed, he wasn’t able to stand even with crutches and was confined to live all his life in a wheelchair plus having back and lung condition. At age of 64 he moved to Lakewood yeshiva and spent his remaining years learning there. (Henoch Teller/Above the bottom line and Longing for dawn: inspiration and consolation By Yaakov Yisrael Baifus – google books) Doesn’t seem he had any siblings.
Are there any frum burials at Mt Lebanon and Mt Nebo?

More pics of his marker and some relatives buried next to him. The marker right next to him just says “Samuel”. Upon entering the main gate, an alarm went off, when I asked the ground-keeper for Feist, he knew immediately whom I’m looking for. He claims that every week approx 1-2 people visit Rav Feist.
As always, anyone with a picture of himis kindly asked to share with us. TY.
