The passing of Shmarihyu Pustapetski

It is with great sadness that I have to tell of the passing of Shmarihyu Pustapetski.
Shmarihyu passed away at the age of 94. He was born in Vilkaviskis, a member of the Batar
youth movement, a Captain in the Lithuanian Army and was deported to Siberia in 1940.

He was a greater lover of Lithuania !

I will sadly miss this wonderful person.

You can read more of his life at:

May his soul rest in peace.
