My condolences to Sally and family, when I was a young teller at the Elenvilla National Bank, Lou would bring Josh with him. I was always amazed at how sweet and funny he was. It was then I would tease him, 'he was the Mayor of Ellenville,' for He just loved people and they loved him. At the time, I was married to John Miller. Now I live in Delaware, remarried 34 yrs now. I just stumbled across his obituary. It sounds 'Ike he had a very happy life, which I was so happy to hear. Many blessings always, Linda Padilla Hostelley

My sincere condolences to the Berger Family. Josh was an absolutely delightful person to know. I enjoyed the dances at the Naponoch Firehouse where he reigned supreme behind the microphone and on the dance floor. He touched many lives and will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have crossed paths with him.

Dear Sally and Family, I am so saddened to hear of Josh's passing. I was so blessed to have known him! He was always sweet and kind to me when I worked with him at Dr Giorgianni's office. I truly enjoyed working with him. I will never forget the nice surprise he gave to my son upon his arrival all those years ago! I wish I could have seen him recently and spent a little time with him. Sally, your son was an amazing man. I hope you know, that from Mother to Mother, you are an inspiration to me. It has been an honor and privilege knowing Josh. You are in my thoughts and prayers always and forever. ~Michele Spignardo

With much love.

Im very sad to hear of the passing of Josh. May his soul rest at peace. I pray that God be with you during this time of sorrow. Id like to share a quote
" ...we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit..."

In the winter of 1973-74 , the big school bus couldn't come by my house. The driver with the little bus picked Joshua and his friend up and then picked me up. It was fun every morning to see Joshua with his infectious smile and laugh. What a lucky gal I was!
My thoughts are with the Berger Family.
