Rest in Peace, Josh Kontos

It is with a heavy heart that I write this, as Pastrami Nation has lost one of its own. This week, reviewer and podcaster Josh Kontos passed away.
Kontos has been on a number of podcast episodes when we broadcasted live from Linebreakers in Victorville, CA. He was also our chief builder of model kits, having reviewed a number of Transformers model kits from Bandai/Flame Toys throughout the years. Kontos was an extremely talented guy, but more important than that- he was an amazing human being. I have known Kontos for years now, and I cannot begin to tell you what an incredible human being he was.
All of us at Pastrami Nation are still in shock from this terrible loss. Kontos is a friend and will always be a part of the Pastrami Nation family.
Our condolences and prayers go out to the Kontos family and all the lives he touched. Rest in peace, my friend.
