Part of "Ho'ish Moshe Anav M'od" is that [reputedly] he never insisted that his word was the final word. He felt one who could bring the sources etc. was entitled to dissent.
He also transcended labels and was comfortable in All kinds of Orthodox circles. He could attend a Young Israel and be OK with that. He had links to the Torah uMada community via his son-in-law and was very open-minded about getting scientific input to his process.
As we know, his kinship with the Rav ZT"L also made him unique in the yeshivishe velt. With RMF - Anyone who was within the Torah World was OK
E.G. I'm told that he accepted Ashkenazic Rabbenu Tam Tefillin from the Lubavicher Rebbe - specially commissioned for him.
Not since the era of RY Karo and RM Isserles has the Torah world been dominated by two Torah Giants named R Yosef and R Moshe. I don't believe that North America will ever have two twin towers like that again.
Shalom,
RRW
