I spent a weekend with Josh and friends in Amsterdam. I remember the sweating episode well, though I have him down as saying "I've been holding in that poo for bloody hours". He was so chuffed with himself. We then spent 10 minutes imagining ourselves as floating jelly fish, before plotting how we were going to win the race back to the boat the next day.
I didn't know Josh as well as most, but he's a character I won't forget. I always had respect for him and he was refreshingly honest about things - he wasn't frightened to correct me if he thought differently about a subject. I got the impression he always chose his on path and did things his way.
A response to a suicide I once read went something like "sometimes the lights are too bright for our most sensitive souls". It seems pertinent here.
Such sad news. RIP my jelly fish brother.
