Joseph T. Blumling

With deepest sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother and friend, Joseph T. Blumling, 60 of Aliquippa. Surrounded by those he loved, he passed away on Saturday, June 14th at Allegheny General Hospital, after a brave battle with Pancreatic cancer. Born to Charles A. Blumling and Anna May (Herbert) Blumling of Robinson Twp., PA, he was the youngest of his mother’s 11 children. Joe greatly loved his large family and sharing stories of past gatherings, and thrilling rides was a favorite topic. After school, Joe joined the Army and spent time serving in Germany and Georgia. Joe retired from the US Army Corps of Engineers as a Derrick Boat Operator after many years of welding on land and underwater. Joe touched the lives of so many with his sense of humor, warmth, and outgoing nature. He loved taking his Harley out riding, Steeler Sundays, and numerous outdoor activities including hunting and fishing trips. He greatly enjoyed spending time with his circle of friends, in the mountains, on the river, or having a Captain at Club Ed. Joe is survived by his wife, Brianne (Matejka) Blumling, and his two children that he was exceptionally proud of, Spencer and Abigail. Joe will be forever missed by his siblings Pauline Wetzel; Marilyn Gausto; Nicholas Blumling; Charles “Chuck” Blumling; Charlotte Easley; John Blumling; and Anna Lynn Teyssier. He is also survived by hundreds of nieces, nephews, great- nieces/nephews and extended family. Joe was loved deeply by his Goddaughter and niece, Beckey (Blumling) Cox, and her children Helena and DJ, who loved to shower Uncle Wizard with hugs and he would shower them back with tickles. Joe is preceded in death by his parents and siblings Robert, Theresa, and Pearl Blumling Visitation will be held at Mastrofrancesco Funeral Home, 2026 McMinn St Aliquippa, on Friday June 20th from 5-8 pm. A celebration of life will follow on June 21st starting at 11 am with lunch at 12:30 at The Fez, 2312 Brodhead Rd, Aliquippa where everyone will toast to a life well lived, though cut too short. His memory, and laugh, will forever live in everyone's hearts. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The American Cancer Society.
