I just learned of this, and I am tremendously broken hearted for you all. I worked closely with Josh every weekend for several years in the Cath Lab at Cleveland Clinic. Josh helped me and our team literally save so many patients. He was always kind and so willing to do anything he could to help us...
He and I talked a lot about his goals, considering medical school, I finished my NP program, we celebrated that.
Breaks my heart that the whole time he may have been struggling. We laughed so much and so often, he was such a comfort with some of our tough cases on the weekends.
My whole heart is with you. Please know how much I appreciated and respected your son, brother, cousin, grandson, and dear friend. I will always remember his kind spirit and selflessness.
