Although he, himself, suffered, from multiple health problems, his entire life, nevertheless, he devoted his entire life to helping others, Begashmius and Beruchnius, for everyone in the community as well as visiting people in Hospitals and Nursing Homes regularly.

What a beautiful yid
for this last project that he initiated i.e. the Kollel. This gives our seniors chayas and simcha especially those who otherwise are not working and would be sitting home all day.

He will be sorely missed:(

Reuven was a kind man who always smiled despite his own pain. He made life light and bright. He will be sorely missed ๐๐
An amazing human being. I am blessed to have known him as long as I did.
Bde. Condolences to the entire Woontieler family. He was my Rabbi I met in Yeshiva Rtzad. What a beautiful man your husband and father was. Always smiling. Always helping. Always giving whatever he had to whomever needed anything. You gave to me and my family. He helped me get a scholarship into camp. He brought me closer to Yidushkeit. I remember his silliness and his seriousness about his love of Torah. I remember his kindness. May his memory be a blessing
