I will miss Josh forever. I loved him like a son, he spent every Christmas and Thanksgiving with us here on Maui. I first met him in Massachusetts, then he moved to Maui. He and my daughter Sarah Kahn were like brother and sister for over 9 years. He was a beautiful soul. Rest in love, till we meet again.

I am honored to be one of your loved ones Josh. I had the priveledge of being in the trenches fighting with you and celebrating all your WINS and accomplishments in life. You lived more life in 31 years than most of us will in a life time.
To the people who truly knew you, who walked next to you in life, who had your back knowing you had ours, we know your life is a success story. You found your paradise and not many of us can say that. You loved hard and were loved by SOOOOOOOO many. You loved to laugh and tried your hardest to make us laugh. You are fiercely loyal and the people who you were loyal to knew it, felt it, and had no doubts you would go into battle for us.
I miss our talks so much already. I loved trying to give you "old man wisdom". Im sure you were tired of me saying "Just keep pushing", or "Keep your circle tight, only let people who have your best interest in to your life", or "Make tiny changes, you dont need to change everything at once", and we often ended our calls with me saying "I cant wait for you to rule the world"... You were a perfect combinations of smarts, charisma, looks, heavy hearted, humble and i truly believed you could have ruled the world.
I love you my man. Keep a seat warm for me til i get there, i got some more story tellin for you!
