Fallen AR Member
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.

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Based on his posts, he seemed like a fine person and hunter. Here is a link to his elephant hunt thread last year.......Josh A.'s elephant

We are diminished. Rest in peace, Josh A.

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Sorry to hear about your friend. We should all do what we can to make a mark in the world because we can be snatched away in an instant. Sounds like Josh lived right and had some adventures.

John,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and pass them on to his family from a stranger. His elpehant hunt report was so alive. To think he is now gone! Every time I see a story like this I think life is so short and we worry about stupid little things!
