Fellow AR member and my lifelong friend Josh A. died this morning in an automobile accident. Josh was a man of impeccable character and integrity above reproach. He was my son's Godfather and the man I named my son after. Josh allowed me the honor of being his best man in his wedding. His generosity knew no bounds and I have countless reminders of this around my house. Everything from the Ithaca side by side he gave my son, to a longbow and knives he made for me with his own hands. A finer man I have never known. He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Lisa, two sisters, Amy and Kay, his brother Justin, and his mother. He will be sorely missed. My heartfelt prayers go out to Josh's family. John Lord, please grant me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference. Lord, please grant me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference. | ||

My thoughts and prayers are with both your families. Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

That's very sad news Hondo. I don't believe I ever met Josh but from his posts here he showed what a class guy he was. He'll be missed here but no where near as much as he'll be missed by his family and closest friend. You have my sincere condolences and my prayers are with his family as well.

I can relate to your loss as I lost my best friend and hunting partner to cancer just over a year ago. Phesant hunting just isn't the same without him. I can tell you that things will get better for you with time but they will never be completely the same. 465H&H | |||

Home is the sailor, home from sea: Her far-borne canvas furled The ship pours shining on the quay The plunder of the world. Home is the hunter from the hill: Fast in the boundless snare All flesh lies taken at his will And every fowl of air. 'Tis evening on the moorland free, The starlit wave is still: Home is the sailor from the sea, The hunter from the hill. --A.E. Housman My sympathy and condolences to family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family. I did not know Josh outside of this forum, but he was very influential in my selection of an outfitter for my first safari. He took the time to answer multiple pages of my questions and shared with me his photographs and accounts of his hunts in Africa. Thank you Josh, may you walk with God. 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||
