Anyone that had met Bob, Valerie and Josh was instantly drawn to what a dynamic family they were.

Josh was an amazing young man and he will be truly missed both on the water and off. He has always been a fixture at the local runs and Bob and Val are great people who are always a joy to spend the day with.

Josh, we will miss you buddy.
