I’m very sorry and pained to hear your pain about your father’s passing .

Very humble quiet person
What’s missing in your heart God should fill that void with only happiness .
We cannot understand gods ways .
Your father from above will always be there for you and fight for the geula

Yanky was a true humble Chossid and a gem. This is a tremendous, unspeakable loss. I’m certain he is advocating right now for Moshiach.
May his family be comforted and never again know of any pain.
As a gabai in Lefferts R’ yanky,would always be accommodating always looking to see how things can work out -trying hard not to say no.
Although quiet and unassuming, Simchas Torah he would be very frielich and bring much simcha to the Shul.
Chaval Al de’avdon,
Eibershter this must end. Ad Mosai – enough. Enough.
Please bring Moshiach.
Such a humble chasid.
Boruch dayan haemes!
He will be missed very much
He was such a Machnis orach,
And always welcomed us into his home
With a smile and with warmth
In shul, he would always look out for others and make them feel comfortable and welcomed.
May you all be comforted!!
A true loss
My heart is with you Batya and family i have such good memories of Rabbi Korf such an aidele Yid great loss to all who knew him
He was so genuine and sweet, something this generation will miss.
He was a hidden gem.
He will be missed
A humble and unassuming character. A gem of a man. Will be sorely missed. Mild mannered and always accommodating. Without ego! A chassid in the true sense of the word. Will be sorely missed by all his cousins. First his father and now him! BDE. Unfathomable! Unacceptable! We need Mashiach NOW!!
A special man. He was so kind humble gentle hospitable and Ive never heard him say an unkind word to say about anyone. May Hashem comfort the family.
Yanky Korf was one of my yom tov hosts for seudas, and an occasional shabbos. He was a real favorite for me, a peaceful household to come to. During Sukkos his more fun side would come out, you could see a difference. I am saddened from this. Comfort to his family, may they be comforted !
We lost such a young devoted chossid!
Devoted to his family, devoted to his father, devoted to raising chassidishe children!
What a loss!
So soon after his Father’s passing!
Hashem ad mossai!
Absolutely heartbroken
Such a Righteous, gentle, kind man
So Inspiring, Always learning
Never a negative word or judgment
Lived every minute as a Chossid
Utterly devoted to his family
Will be remembered always
