My heart was deeply saddened on this wonderful Christmas morning to hear of the passing of Joe. I have known Joe for over 30 years. He and I both were in the electrical supply business; unfortunately we always worked for the competition, but both of us always tried to help the other when the need arose. We would spend most of the time talking on the phone about everything but business - mostly about cars and other things. Everyone in the business knew Joe Oetjen. He was a true professional and genuinely nice person. We have all lost a great friend and loving person. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his wife and Adam.
