This is a casual event to celebrate Josh's life. Josh asked that we keep his service a joyful event not a somber one. Therefore, we will mingle, laugh, and reminisce on all the fond crazy memories we all had with him.  So come have a farewell drink or shot in honor of Josh.  We will also have a balloon release at 7pm.  If you like to share one of your photos or mementos of you and Josh please feel free to bring a copy. We will have an area to memorialize his photos and then we give to his kids to keep. We encourage all of the attendees to be positive and come celebrate Josh's life together.

Josh wishes to spend eternity at the beaches in California,

so his ashes will be spread there within a few weeks with his family.
