Josh you are very missed here at Barnes & Noble--Riverside. Not a day goes by that someone doesn't mention your name or something they remember about you. I wish I could post all the wonderful things our staff has been saying about you on the makeshift memorial board in the break room. Someone even quoted your favorite band, Heart. RIP Josh.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Heath's passing. I have fond memories of him through school, the Camden High School Class of 1985. May the strength of friends and family, help you through this difficult time.
