נקטף באבו niktaf be-ibo
Which means [a flower that was] picked prematurely.

The second line of the acrostic states plainly:
ויהי אך יצא יצאה האם וילקח הנער
The mother had just left and the boy was taken.

I know that Joseph Meir was known in the family as “Rudy” but so far haven’t found any documents to support that knowledge.

His father and 7 siblings are all buried in Israel.
