Joshua has had his share of "tough times" growing up, and we are blessed to have had God's gift for 21 years. As someone once said of Josh, "It is not where you have been and what you have traveled through, it is where you are going and how many lives you'll touch along the way." Josh was a five year starting pitcher with Mercy Cross, and as an eighth grader, the youngest player to be selected to the varsity team. Josh loved and participated in all sports including football, golf, basketball, soccer and hockey in addition to his passion for baseball. He was always full of life and he loved to be surrounded by his friends, just as he was at the end.
