He was a very introspective person, who took seriously, his role in his future. Josh had a special relationship with his youngest sister, Jessica. As in so many brother sister relationships, it often appeared as if they would never agree on anything; but in fact they loved each other more than words could ever express. To know Josh, was to love him. He was a young man who was well-liked, admired and respected by all he came in contact with. Anyone who knew him, could only say good things about Josh. His boyhood friends have remained his friends and he will be with them forever. Josh is survived by his parents, John and Rita Fredette; four brothers, Fred Cosby, Jr., Nathaniel R.
