HaShem saw fit to take him.
He takes our best. It's not something humans can comprehend.

Family is taking it really hard... :'(

His day started before 4 am every day! He davened כותיקין for years and 365. But that was after much תהילים and ither תפילות. His davening was a sight to behold.  First one in last one out for every single תפילה for as long as I know him! Whatever! He was a good guy and HaShem saw fit to take him.

His brother Mutty is still very sick as well. I cant stop thinking that they both got sick at the shiva for their other brother the week before Purim.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Was this the Rav Leibal Katz who said a shiur in Camp Ohr Shraga for many years? Is he related to the Rabbi Motti Katz of NYU who was nifter last week? Who is the brother who was nifter before Purim?

His brother is Rabbi Mutty Katz from JEP.

BD"E Reb Laibel and Refuah Shalayma to R' Mutty (he's the one from JEP, correct?).

I went to his elementary school Chasdei Torah. I was definitely the kind of kid who spent a lot of time in the principal's office. I remember that he'd make me sit there while he answered phone call after phone call of all kinds of Halacha shaylos - Nidda, End-of-life issues, parents who's kids needed help and thought his Yeshiva could help him. You could sit there for an hour, and he'd completely ignore you engrossed in providing teshuvos to those that would call.

I don't quite remember how I knew R' Mutty. But I do remember one particular story. I was at my brother's sheva brachos at a hotel in Somerset NJ at a shabbos nachamu he was catering. There were hundreds of people there - 95% were chasidim. As a modern orthodox guy who showed up in Jeans on Friday, I felt very out of place.

Over coffee Shabbos morning, R' Mutty comes over to me and tells me that his Bal Koreh got stuck and couldn't make it, and was wondering if I could lein an aliya or two. I agreed. With only a few minutes to prepare, I didn't do a good job. To this day, I never understood why he asked me to Lein.
