Dear Mr. & Mrs. Balara, Brendan and Rebecca,
As students spend time in our classrooms we hope for their success. Josh's story, however sadly short, certainly tells of the impact he had on those he came in contact with. You were blessed with a wonderful son and brother.
Condolences to all of the family. Sorry for your loss.

Josh was what many people strive to be on a daily basis. The rare qualities of true kindness, selflessness and authenticity are what made josh loved by many. Josh set the example of being a true Dartmouth man, he always did what was right regardless of others perceptions. Although soft spoken, when he had something to say, people stopped to listen. We all can take a page from Josh´s book. Josh`s smile and phenomenal hugs will forever reside in my mind and heart. Rest in paradise Joshy.
