Waffles always had a gleam in his eyes. Loved to dance, and charm. I have all his pamphlet books on love. I was blessed to visit him in hospice and say goodbye, before Angels took him.

Many good memories of Waffles. Always friendly, with kind words to say. A gentle soul. I never knew his whole story until today. Thank you Waffles for laboring steadfastly for peace, and bringing good into the world.

He thought ina different way. Observe him and THAT would sink-in. Getting into how he thought 'was amazing´, his best atribute

In the winter where I live near waffles, In Tucson he was always walking around. He wear costumes relentlessly on the streets of Tucson and his waffles were known through land. I will miss waffles.

Knowing and loving Josh for close to 40 years, he was/is uniquely and beautifully and hilariously outrageous, just what our dear and desperate world now needs so much. He was so supportive to other artists and activists, and always saw, supported and sought out connection with me and us. His vision, levity and heart remain strong, fiercely embodied in all of us who loved him. Blessings on your beautiful life, Waffles!

Waffles the Clown introduced this Suzie Whitebread of Northern European extraction to the glory of the feta-lemon-spinach mixture, during the occupation of the house of Randy Kehler & Betsy Corner, which had been seized for war tax resistance in the early 90's. This was part of my growing up to see the richness of the world's cultures. Waffles was always on the spot, wherever the action was happening. And imagine my surprise when, at a bar in Miller's Falls, I was honored to learn...

I posted a story in The Athol Daily News about one of Waffles the Clown (Josh) exploits he and I had disrupting a genetic engineering conference in Genetown (Boston) in the early aughts. Of course we chose a Frankenstein theme for the action and I was The Monster, He the Mad Scientist. We had a piece in The Earth First! Journal also. Josh made a small comic book about the action as well. Here's the News piece: https://www.atholdailynews.com/Letter-to-the-editor-58015063. If you want to see...

Waffles and I shared many a laugh, many cherished waffles in Western Mass, Tucson, and his one visit to Oregon. Clown On Waffles! Clown On!
