Josh, a very kind, and supportive person from when he began in NZ as a BDM to most recent, always offering encouragement and support to everyone. You will be, and are already very much missed my friend, go in peace, and we will share some good times again one day. Condolances to Josh's Family, friends, and colleagues. Geoff Peterson

Sad news. Josh was a great operator, and I recall him being very supportive of me in my early career. A bloody good bloke is exactly right.
