Our family friend and professional sculptor, Ben Hammond (benhammondfineart.com) created this bronze statue in memory of Josh. We are grateful for Ben's years of mentoring and working with Josh at church and in scouting as well as the countless other teachers, friends, and family who helped Josh become a great young man. The work was based on a picture taken of Josh in our backyard in the summer of 2011. At the time, one of our daughters had rescued a baby bird and was raising it at home to release back into the wild. In a moment of serenity, Josh held the baby bird in his hands. When I personally look at the sculpture, I capture glimpses of Josh, past, present, and future as he matures into adulthood.
