I knew Peter for over 50 years, but I found this hespid in JewishVues that sums it all up ....
April 13 2020, the third day of
Chol hamoed Pesach, will unfortunately always be etched
in my heart. That was the day I lost
my dear friend R’ Shloime Zev Weiss
z”l, affectionately known as Peter.
I recently heard from R’ Shaul Alter Shlita, Gerrer Rosh Yeshiva, that Pesach is
a zman Simcha, and therefore עצבות
is prohibited. However לב שברון coupled with שמחה ,is not a contradiction
Peter and I got to know each other almost 20 years ago. He had the character trait of שווים ופיו לבו .He said it the
way he saw it. He wouldn’t mince any
words. He gave you the straight scoop.
He was a smart man. His advice was
on the money, whether you liked it or
not
He started davening in Agudas Yisroel Bais Binyomin around the time
that Rav Breuer Shlita became Rov
of the shul. His love for torah had no
bounds and he wanted to absorb all he
could from this Talmid Chochom. We
started learning bechavrusa about 10
years ago.
Peter’s knowledge of Torah
was immense and his love for Torah
was genuine. When we would start
our learning, I would often tell him a
דבדיחותא מילתא .If I took too long, he
would turn to me and say “Herr aufmit die shtissim, lommer lernen a bissel”.
