I've enjoyed so many conversations over the years with Josh during sporting events. He was always there cheering on Bryce and the rest of the team. My son Michael has thought of Josh and his family as a second family for so many years I've lost track. He was very kind and and will certainly be missed by many.

We went way back to the Frank Allis days. Lots of fun messing around in the neighborhood and many years of little league. Justin watched me for a summer (forget the year) so Josh and I hung out most days playing Nintendo or horse in the driveway, the simple life. In recent years we didn't see too much of eachother, mostly in passing since we both were still East siders or more often than not at LaFollette football games where we'd catch up and he would talk all about his kids. Such a great guy, really going to miss him.
