Joseph Edward Milchling, Jr.

My sincere heartfelt condolences to the family. The picture posted on this site is a beautiful tribute to Buddy. We played together as children, when life had no worries. Now at his young age may he no longer have worries and pain. Rest In Peace Buddy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Hold on to precious memories you and your brother had. Please know I am here for you Deb if you need anything.Always remember you have your own personal angel watching over you.

What a great picture of Bud, holding that big ole lobster! I'm going to miss Buds humor and how I would always get it and relate! Also our couples miniature golf outings in Ocean City, bud winning every time and how hard I tried to beat him! He was good at a lot of things like that. RIP Brother-in law ! You will be greatly missed!!!

Bud has been the love of my life for 28 yrs. married and great father to joseph and Alicia. I will miss him and always love him, but he fought this disease for years. He went above and beyond to try his best to beat it. He is at peace now. We love you. Your loving wife, Karen

Dad, it's hard to believe that this is real. That you aren't here and I just have to continue through life without you. I feel like a part of me is missing and I'm sure I'll never feel complete again, I will just have to learn how to live with that piece missing. You were such an amazing dad, husband, relative, and friend to everyone you met. I remember us all driving somewhere and you saw a guy with a flat tire or someone who needed help and you would just pull over and talk to a perfect stranger and help them. The world needs more people like you. And I was so blessed to have you as my father. I can't imagine going through life without you but I will try to stay strong and remember all of our great memories together. I love you. R.I.P. Dad

Our sincere condolences to my sister, Karen, nephew, Joseph, and niece, Alicia at this most difficult time of your lives. I can't imagine the heartache you are feeling now, but God's blessing will keep you and always protect you. You will always treasure the fond memories of your husband and father all the days of your lives. Love, Diane and Steve

My thoughts are with you all at this most difficult time. May you rest in peace Uncle Bud.

Bud - We cerainly will miss your undying spirit and strength. You were always there for everyone whether it be family, friends, or strangers. The perseverence you displayed during your long battle with liver disease was beyond amazing and an inspiration to all of us. We can just see your smiling face from above and know that you are finally at peace. May God bless Karen, Joseph & Alicia as they continue on life's journey with you in their hearts. Love, Sis & Matt

I consider myself so lucky to have been welcomed into this family that Mr Milching worked so hard to build. I consider myself even luckier to call him my "second dad" or "Papa #2". He helped raise both my best friend and my boyfriend to be the amazing adults they turned out to be today. He made sure my second mom was always happy. And he made me feel like one of the family always, even if it meant being reprimanded for leaving the toilet seat up, failing my drivers ed test or dying my hair red. I'll miss his sarcasm and his impressions and so many other little things but I know he's still here always making sure everyone is okay. With that I'll end by saying rest in peace Papa, I love you. And to the rest of my Milchling's- I love you. You know that. Always.

Deb, My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I am sorry for your loss and don't hesitate to ask for anything you may need. Please remember you always have a family at White House Black Market for you to lean on in your time of need. I love you.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Karen, Alicia, Joseph and family during this most difficult of times. "Bud" was an important member of the Washington Township High School Class of 1975 and will be missed by all who knew him.
