Josh’s Friends
Josh made friends easily, and many of those ties were so strong that they lasted even after Josh moved away.
This gallery has photos from Brian McKinnon, whom Josh befriended at Dimond High School in Anchorage, and Josh Vennarucci and Adam Monte, whom Josh became buddies with during his one year at Burlingame High School, in California.
