Joshua was a Paving Contractor who established J.W. Smith Paving in 1960. The hustler is gone, but never forgotten. Love was his family, and he spoiled them all rotten. He gave so much, to so many others. His friends weren't just friends, they were all his brothers. His main joy in life, was working an unreal pace. Money wasn't his love, it was the thrill of the chase. He gave away more, than most men. A life lesson we all, should be trying to learn. At 12 years old, he knocked on his first door, 68 years later, now he knocks them no more. But today he knocked on, the last door of his fate. Now sitting with Jesus, for he knocked on Heaven's gate.
