Josh had the biggest heart. My family and I have known him as our barber, (he gave my son his first and most recent haircuts) for the past 8 years. He often would just come in to his shop to see us based on our schedule. He was a great person with kind words to say about everyone and will be missed dearly. May God bless him and keep him, and may he rest in peace.
