Joshua was born in Sydney to Paul Nicholas Sr., and the late Mabel Dennis.
Joshua also known as Bigelow was a gentle giant with a contagious laugh. He adored his two daughters, Patricia & Eliza and often would brag to everyone about how proud he was of their accomplishments. He was known for his jokes and bright ray of sunshine he brought to a dull room. He was a proud member of the Warriors Society, having stood front lines defending our Treaty Rights on more than one occasion. Family was everything to him. He spent a lot of his days with his brother, Levi, taking wellness cruises and sharing a close brotherly bond. He especially enjoyed family gatherings, Sunday dinners at his fathers home, hanging out with friends and watching his favorite team, The Boston Bruins. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
