Josh had a great spirit around him full of passion and joy for his work. He inspired many students in Korea to advance their English and improve their lives. Students will always remember him in their lives. He was a good friend and always kept true to himself. He taught me a lot and supported my ideas and helped me to grow in the processes.

Please accept our condolence and prayers throughout this very difficult time. I remember how you spoke of Joshua and felt pride when you mentioned all of his accomplishments. He was a good man and loved by many. My prayers are with you brother. May he rest in peace.

Some things have changed suddenly because of laws and Covid so I have to go back to Korea earlier than expected~ I’ll be back next Friday! So I think we have to cancel class next week but then I will come to your home whenever you decide the schedule! I’ll be in Yongin again so don’t worry 🙂 stay warm and safe until I get there!!
