R. Joseph Meir Skverer, one of the three sons of R. Abraham Joshua Heschel Skverer, was very highly esteemed in the Hasidic world. He fasted a lot and was incredibly dedicated to divine worship.
Hasidim say that the reasons that he found such favor among the Hasidim were:
1) R. Isaac Skverer had the custom that he sat everyone at his table according to age but the youngest next to him. Since R. Joseph was the youngest he sat closest to him. And Hasidim relate that during the table (tish) R. Isaac Skverer would constantly gaze at his face and speak to him slowly (gezeilt zayner verter) and directly.
2) R. Joseph Meir was the last to enter R. Isaac Skverer’s room before he passed away.
