Josh was my cross street neighbour in Ottawa.  My hobby was welding and he came over several times to see what I was doing.  Next thing I knew, he was off to welding school in Toronto... when he returned, he stick-welded way better than me!   We went together for 10 Tuesday nights to TIG welding classes at Algonquin College.  One night returning from class, my car broke down and we had quite an adventure getting home - so we were bursting to tell everyone the news as we walked around the corner of my house... to see flashing lights everywhere = police cars, fire engines, ambulance and all our families out in the street!  Seems a car had slammed into a house!  Well our 'big news' was pretty small potatoes compared to this.

Josh was fun to be around, always considerate, curious and outgoing.  I'll miss him for certain.
