R. Yitzchak Zev Mayer z”l completed and published the Maharsha HaAruch that was authored by his father in law, R. Dovid Zvi Peteny Hy”d.

A number of volumes of this sefer can be found at http://www.hebrewbooks.org when searching for מאיער as the mechaber.

A son of R. Mayer was R. Dovid Hersh Mayer z”l who was a founder of Yeshiva Bais Binyomin of Stamford, CT in 1976. He was yeshiva’s menahel from its beginning until his petira in 2002.

I once heard of him or his FIL seeing the Maharsha in a dream thanking him for his work, but don’t believe anything unless heard from a reliable source. He 1st wife died young’ish, he remarried. His youngest son (Shlomo?) died very young, not long after after he passed away.

Asher, his son Shlomo is B”H alive, and he is the secretary of Kolel Shomrei Hachomes.

Thanx Yoel!

Aside from being a great Talmud Chochom, he had a sense of humor (some of his kids, G-kids have it too). I once heard a story attribute to him, that he couldn’t sleep one night due to a dead (vahntz) bed bug in his mattress – when asked why, it was only 1 dead bug….? his answer, yes one dead bug, ‘ober s’iz geven eine grohser L’evayeh…! (but he had a huge funeral… )
