My prayers and sympathy are with Joey’s family. He had a special place in the heart of Sister Maris Stella. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in in their memories and consolation in their faith,
My thoughts and prayers are with the Hettwer family. I had the privilege of working with Joe quite a bit over the past few years, and enjoyed every conversation I had with him. Joe will truly be missed.

My deepest condolences to Joe’s family, friends and “work family”. It was always a pleasure to work with Joe, he definitely knew how to “do” U-Haul in so many capacities and was very generous with sharing that knowledge and work ethic. He will be missed.
Thank you for being my best man in my wedding and checking in on my family over the years. We always made sure to visit on those occasions we were able to make it back to Grand Forks/Fargo. Our most recent visit to Fargo for Zach and Brianna’s wedding was special. We got to see you with all of your family. Lots of smiles and laughter despite the pain that you were in. I treasure all these moments. I will always have our last picture together in my mind.
May you rest in peace and share in God’s mercy. I love you and I miss you. I will keep playing Wordle and wondering how you would have done. Till we meet again.
Love Brian
Joe, you were a wonderful friend it was an honor to know you. Over the years we said we should get together for lunch but never got it together. I regret that you will be missed, my friend.
