I certainly didn't always have the best relationship with Josh, I lived with him in Enmore for about a year back in around 2003 - we had our problems but I always knew deep down he was just a troubled young guy with issues that he just wasn't very good at dealing with.
He wasn't actually doing too bad when he was living with me, but as soon as he moved out and into Potts point/kings cross area, I think that was when he crossed into the danger zone... there were moments when I was living with him when I was really worried about him though
I actually saw him in Redfern about October last year - I was on a bus so I couldnt say hello but I remember thinking "wow that was Josh, hes put on weight, he must be doing ok for himself"... So needless to say I am pretty shocked to see this thread.
I miss you Josh...I think of you everyday. I know the details and your dad has been very warming and opened his experience and help to all whom you were close with...
