הרב אבא דונר היה דוגמא למופת לכל אם ישראל
What a shock! BDE. Did not know he wasn’t well. Was contantly hearing of his great work through a friend who did for yiddishkeit with his help. What a loss!
As someone who grew up in London and knew R’ Abba zt”l and his family quite well, this is devastating news. His wife passed away a few years ago and as mentioned his beloved son was niftar on Purim in a car accident and now R’ Abba himself. He was a tremendous personality and an exceptionally nice person who did so much for the klal. I’m heartbroken on learning of his petirah.
Abba was a wonderful, warm, and extremely caring man. He is profoundly missed.

BD”E. To #7 , just letting you know that R’ Aba z”l remarried approximately 3 years ago to a woman who was extremely devoted to him. May his almana, children, and siblings have a true nechama.
Boruch Dayan Ha’emes. May he be a meilitz yosher for klal yisroel!
