After his father’s death, he was the main breadwinner of the family. During the struggle against the British he was already organized in the Resistance, but he kept his secret strictly. In the War of Independence, he served in the Gadna and from there, four months later, to full service, was a playful, cheerful boy who was nevertheless very responsible and very devoted to his mother and nevertheless did not hesitate to leave him.
