On his tombstone is written, “A man who feared G-d and loved His mitzvos, who toiled in tzedaka and charitable acts to sustain the poor and the destitute.”

He had no sons and one daughter.
Rav Getzil passed away 26 Elul in the year .תקפ"ד/5584(Pri Etz Chaim, Toldos Rav Yevi pp. 75-76, cited from Mazkeres LeGedolei Ostrog #241)
