Josh, 20 years ago, we were in boot camp together. I think of you often. You would make me laugh so hard that I would get into trouble. After boot camp, we got stuck in Great Lakes together due to a hurricane a month earlier in Pensacola. We spent the weekends running around Chicago while waiting for our spot at A school. You had family in town that showed us around which was awesome! We ended up at separate duty stations but stayed in closed touch, until I didn´t hear from you for a...

I miss you buddy and still think about you always.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Love Momma

I was given orders to HSC-26 in Norfolk, November 11th, 2005. Josh was on watch that night and had to retrieve me from the airport around 11pm on a Friday, it was a holiday weekend, too. After reporting to the squadron, he showed me my housing and got me settled. He knew I didn’t have to report for work for a couple days, he was generous enough to check on me throughout the weekend and introduced me to coworkers and friends, that weekend I developed bonds that lasted years for me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Josh,
I have been thinking a lot about you lately and although there are no words to truly express the way I feel...I just wanted to let you know I miss you. You touched my life in more ways than you know. You were always there for me and always making sure everything was ok. And I never really got the chance to say thank you. Thank you so much Josh - I will never ever forget you.
I love and Miss you dearly,
Nicole

Josh, you were loved by everyone. You always kept us laughing, you were the guy that everyone wanted to be around. Josh i love you and i miss you, cant wait to see you again!!

Josh,
We grew up together and it is so hard for me to understand why you went so soon. I will hold all our fun and crazy memories from when we were little kids up until when we were grown. I always thought about how you would be in the future - an old man still picking on me, the old woman!! I love you Josh, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you...my life perspective has totally changed. Like you said, I was like your sister; I felt the same way. Love always,...
