Joshua Aron

I went to junior high and high school with Josh. I remember in 7th grade science class, his father, who I believe was a urologist, gave a talk to our class which sparked my interest in medicine.

Although we were in many classes together, I didn’t know Josh well. Nonetheless, he was part of the fabric of my adolescence and I think about him now and then — especially on the anniversary of the attack on the WTC.

May his memory always be a blessing.

We graduated from Cornell together. Remembering you my friend.

Remembering Joshua on the 20th anniversary of 9/11...

I learned about Josh listening to his dad, Barry, on a tour of the 9/11 Memorial. Barrys beautiful and sincere storytelling moved me beyond words and Josh and his loved ones have been in my heart since then. Thank you for reminding me of the grace and beauty of the human spirit. May your friends and family continue to share in your enduring memories.

We are still touched by the way your father told your story at ground zero. We Will forever keep you and your loved ones close to our hart. As everyone else affected by that horrible day. This should never be forgotten.

So many years have passed since that fateful day. So many questions still remain that will probably never be answered. One interesting thing that has began to replace the sheer pain of this great tragedy is hope. Hope that your family has healed and found peace, hope that your wife carries you in her heart, hope that some way some how you've touched someones life in a way that can never be forgotten. I've learned over these many years that the pain and the void of a life lost never goes away....

Twelve years later I still think about the Aron family and their loss. I hope time has lessened the pain a little bit, and made his memory fonder.

Josh's father, Dr. Barry Aron, was my urologist (very thankful for his care & treatment). I wish he'd never know the pain of losing his son. He loved you so much. Rest in peace, Joshua.

I remember Josh as the little brother who always rattled his big sister's chain. He had a smile that would brighten up the room. I continue to pray for his family with each passing year and have him in my thoughts always.
