I'm at a loss of words for what exact time and memory to write about because they were all very great times. All I want to say is that Josh was definitely someone who fit the best description as a "True Friend" and I can only imagine the wonderful place he has been lifted to. I know you will no longer be here exactly but you will still be with me in my heart and I know that you will watch over all of us to make sure we will make it just fine in life, just like you. I hope that the Passiglia family can know that Josh loved you all very much and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love ya Joshua!

To the Passiglia's,

Josh hung out with some girls from Lindberg that were on my soccer team. Josh brought them all over to my house after a Sunday afternoon game in the Fall 2007 along with a tree from the nursery and took charge in planting the tree in memory of my deceased wife. He did a great job and was very sincere.
