Rabbi Pesach Wolk zβl was a relative of my mother, Batya Mass zβl. His picture appeared in THE JEWISH WEEK OF FEB. 2010 in an article by Jeffrey S. Gurock.

My mother often spoke of Pesach Wolk. The name Wilkomirsky and the town Zetel were also spoken of often. My mother and other family are also buried in Beth David Cemetary. I would like to speak to any relative of the late Rabbi Wolk, zβl.
Zhetil was the ton that the Chofetz Chaim came from, in his youth he was known as βder iluy fun Zhetilβ.
I found a Dvar Torah from him here: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=3140&hilite=c923f546-4071-4bbb-b4a2-6893fdb95200&st=%D7%A4%D7%A1%D7%97+%D7%95%D7%95%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%A7
