Robert Hugh Joslin

February 1, 1958 – April 16, 2026

Robert Hugh Joslin passed away at his Maui home on April 16, 2026 as his daughter prayed over him in his final moments.

Born in Rockledge, Florida, and raised in Clear Lake, Texas, Robert moved to Maui in 1985. Alongside his brother, he founded Joslin Service and later started Complete Mechanical, where he became widely known for his expertise in hotel remodels and restaurant design. In 2002, Robert pioneered a new path for consumer advocacy in the islands, becoming Hawaii's first full-time resident public adjuster. A formidable force in his field, Robert served as a Certified Professional Public Adjuster and expert witness, taking great pride in mentoring others through the National Association of Public Insurance Adjusters (NAPIA). He worked side-by-side with his wife, Lisa, crediting their success to their shared dedication

Robert was a builder in every sense of the word. He established businesses and contstructed homes, but he also built the most important thing: community. He had a gift for bringing people together and welcoming them into what became known as “the tribe.” Strangers became family around him. Holidays were bigger, louder, and warmer because he made sure everyone had a place to land, especially when they needed one most.

Robert is survived by his beloved Lisa; their children, Ryan, Cody, Jordan, and Nicole; and his grandchildren, who will forever remember their Papi: Leo, Axel, Mila, and Enzo.

In a final tribute to their unbreakable commitment, Robert will be laid to rest on April 28, 2026–his and Lisa's 36th wedding anniversary. He will be interred at Hope Cemetery in Albion, Pennsylvania, returning to the family roots he cherished throughout his life.

Robert leaves behind more than a family–he leaves behind a standard, a legacy, and a tribe. He will be remembered for his firm strength, his abundant generosity, his unwavering resolve, his boisterous humor, and above all, the way he made people feel like they belonged. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
