I believe I was bar mitzved in his shul in 1939. He lived I think on Columbus Ave. and as a child my family would visit him and his wife we called, Tante Relche. I don’t remember the family connection but they had a son, Meyer who married a woman named Ann and they moved to Scranton, PA. Meyer z”l died in 1974 I believe. There was another son, Dave, and one who was mute but he was a wonderful painter of landscapes.
he was the Rav at Young Israel in the Bronx,
