Joshua has always been a people’s person and with a contagious smile to match.  He had the natural ability to befriend anyone.  Joshua often provided assistance to others who were in need whether they be a loved one or a stranger.   Aside from helping others, Joshua was a natural comedian, being able to make just about anyone in his presence laugh.   Being a fan of anything comedy related, he was a lifelong fan of the show “The Simpsons”.  

Josh had many fond memories.  He often reminisced about the love and time spent with his parents.  Josh often talked about how his father Greg would take him to martial arts classes and having movie night with his mother Regina.  Josh was also very fond of his old brothers and cousins and the moments he spent with them.  In addition, he cherished growing up with the family dog Woowoo Gandhi.   

However, the most important aspect of Joshua, was the love he had for his daughter Audreyana, whom he protected, sheltered and provided unconditional love.
