I am so sorry for your loss. Josh always made my marketing class lively with his mischevious ways. I told him I fussed at him because I really liked him. He was always full of energy and life. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I started working with Josh in February, 2009 when I joined the Dept. of Commerce. I am sorry I did not get a chance to know Josh better, but I was always struck by how warm, helpful, outgoing and most of all funny he was.
It was a pleasure to work with Josh and it was a shock to learn that he had passed away. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get to know really good people in life and I think we have to hang on to that, even if those good people are taken away so soon, as Josh was.
My condolences to Josh's wife, Jody and to all his family. Josh will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to you for such a great loss. I worked with Josh at NOAA in Silver Spring, MD, and sat next to his workstation. He impressed me as such a kind, giving, and supportive person with genuine values and Christian ethics. May heaven gird you up during this difficult time and strengthen your hearts.
