There is a special segulah that whoever arranges a special meal in his memory on his yartzeit/azkarah(12 Kislev) will merit open salvations, shidduchim and children. Oneshould also like a candle and study from his sefer Bat Ayin. http://ascentofsafed.com/cgi-bin/ascent.cgi?Name=avritsch-bio, https://www.hidabroot.org/article/215082
