The Loving Memory of Joseph Schilling (Uncle Joe)

Hello everybody. It is with an extremely sad heart that I announce my Uncle Joe's passing. Let me tell you about the man he was.

Caring, outgoing, funny, easygoing, joyous, and LOVING. Joe was informally adopted into the Bluh Family, and it makes my heart full knowing how much of a blessing it is to say that. From the time me and my four brothers were born, Uncle Joe was a second father to us. He was known as "Funcle Joe" for a reason. Whether it be the trips to go bullet shell hunting or staying up late while my parents were gone so he could sneak us his famous sugar toast, he was always willing to act out of love and kindness towards myself and my brothers.

He was one of my dad's first friends on Maui and quickly became friends with my mother as well. It brings me solace and peace knowing that he's reunited with my father - I'm sure they're already driving each other crazy by now.

Joe passed while aiding in evacuating five elderly people in his housing complex. Joe passed as a HERO. His character showed until his very last moments. To everybody who had the pleasure of meeting my Uncle Joe, count your lucky stars; rarely do you get to meet such a genuine soul.

I'm making this GoFundMe to support Joe's immediate family and his formed Maui Ohana in supporting any celebration of life that's yet to come in the future.

Joe's endearing soul will continue to live vicariously through everybody he met and touched. RIP Uncle Joe - we love you.
