Wow. Joshn knew my father and mother many, many years ago in Churubusco. Then he and I met at Blackhawk Baptist Church in the early 80's. He was my Evangelism Explosion partner for the longest time. I also went with him to the juvenile correction program called Region Two. He was always so good to me and to others. I am sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go with the family.

Possibly have never known a better man. This man walked the walk all the way. He served God and God's children to the end.
