I am so sorry to hear that Josh has passed. We worked together years ago. He with Pepsi and I with Walmart. We were to be co partners at events but we became more, we became friends. Thank you Josh for all of the laughs.
This is truly a loss for all,
Joey

My dear Kristie: I am so sad about the loss of Josh. I was lucky to see him over the years at Mountain Shadows Restaurant and Zak's in Woodland Park. He was always such a joy. I know exactly what you are going through, I lost my beloved Ray in September.

Hang in there girl, Andrea Hill (former owner Mountain Shadows Restaurant)

Josh did so much for others, being "relocated" will add greatness to the heavens.
I worked with him for sales in many venues, he was of "his word".
May you keep his best memories forever.
