I sat next to yossie during a weekly evening parsha class. I was an outsider to the shul. In many ways I had a very different background than him. Not many people really cared to get to know me.  Yossie smiled. Made sure I had a front seat near him. He liked to sit in the front. I don’t think he knew my name. But he smiled. He paid for the shiur himself week after week. I know he loved his family very much.
My condolences to his wife and children
