Joshua, better known as “Moe”, was a kind man who enjoyed the simple things in life. He took great pride in his job at the Nacher Corporation. Moe was a hard worker who worked his way up through the years and who gave one hundred percent on every job. He had a passion for music, especially rock. Moe’s love of music was something he shared with his daughter, Jolie, whom he loved very much. Family was a big part of his life and time spent with them were some of Moe’s most precious moments. One of his favorite past times was grilling outside. He would often cook hibachi for the family to enjoy together. Moe was a hard-working, passionate man who never waned in his support or love of his family, and who soldiered on, even when times were tough. He will be truly and deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him.
