Because of his seriousness and his demands on himself, he was profound and thorough in everything he dealt with, even in areas that did not interest him very much, and his interests and activities ranged from trips with students to political activities. The problem that always bothered him was how to satisfy everyone. He devoted much thought and care to his children. At the beginning of June 1969 he was called up for active reserve duty. On the 17th of Tammuz 5729 (1.7.1969), two days before the end of his service, he fell in the Jordan Valley. He was laid to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul. He left a wife and three children. The little boy was born after the fall of his father and was named after him.
