This news both both shocking and painful.

When I started my company, Josh was the first person to take a chance with our nacent technology.

When Grooveshark recently shut down, I sent him a note telling him how sad I was to hear about their great service being shut down, and referneced roosevelt's The Man in the Arena poem.

Josh wrote back:

Always positive, supportive and kind, he was a mentor to me despite our considerable age difference. I'll miss him.
