There is a famous story about him with Reb Chaim Ozer Grodzensky Ztz”l.
He published a Torah Journal in his youth.
B”h, I was zoiche to see Rav Hirschprung, and hear him speak.

Rav Hirshprung ztzl had a photographic memory but was also a gaon in pilpul. There wasn’t a part of Torah that he didn’t know. He was the founding force in the establishment of a Bais Yakov in Montreal.

As a student in 770 we had his number next to the phone in our dorm. When anyone had a question of where to find a Gemarah (ANY Gemara!) we would call him. WIthout even saying hello or waisting time he took our question answered to the exact line within page/volume etc. and hung up. I personally got Amreh M’komos by the dozen like this! He was from those unique individuals with the books of Torah!

Baruch:
He has a son who lives in KGH, he may have a picture of the Rav?s grave.
