Wow, its been many years since I've seen Josh or his family, but my heart broke when I read about his passing on. He was way too young to go! My deepest love and sympathy to everyone who knew Josh, particularly to Josh's parents and brother! I'm so sorry for the loss. I hope time helps heal the hurt.

Opie you were my brother's best friend and like a little brother to me. You babysat my kids with Erich many times. My kids loved you. You were part of the family and attended Tuesday night dinners at grandma Linda's. You made me smile and laugh every time I saw you. I remember you fixing my window. You liked to help people and that's what I really liked about you. Rest in Pease Opie
