Obituary
Send FlowersBroker and a Fixer
Whenever H. Joseph Heller felt strongly that he should do something, he went out and did it. That's how he ended up owning a yellow turn-of- the-last-century farmhouse on a hilly acre in Ridgefield, Conn., a house that his wife, Mary Jean, calls "a major fixer-upper."
Mr. Heller, a commodities broker at Carr Futures, saw the potential in the house and set about restoring it himself. He installed new woodwork, nailed in the window trim, hung the doors, replaced the stair rails. Even when the outside needed a coat of paint, he climbed a ladder with a brush in his hand and did the job. He was self-taught, with only some Time-Life books and television to help him. And, of course, his wife. "We watched a lot of Bob Vila on TV," Mrs. Heller said.
The house became home for the Hellers and their four children, ages 8, 6, 4 and 16 months. The only part Mr. Heller, 37, did not build was the new wing put on a few years ago, which included enormous windows ‹ his idea ‹ that frame the view of trees and old stone walls. "So much of him is right here," Mrs. Heller said. "He fell in love with this house and convinced me. I never really fell in love with it until it started taking shape. He was the one who had the vision."

I still think about Joe to this very day. He was an exceptional young man. I knew him through his dad, Howard. Howard and I worked together at State Chemical. One summer, Joe and a friend of his came to our home and painted our house to earn extra money for college. We had the opportunity to have many conversations with each other. I knew he was going to go far in his life. And he did. When I heard he was one of the victims of 9/11, I was stunned. All I could think about was that summer. I...

Dear Heller Family-
I visited the 9-11 memorial in NYC. I stood in front of Joseph's name and felt compelled to look him up on the internet. Such a silly thing to do, but I was moved by his photograph to write you. I cannot even begin to imagine the sadness that you all endured that terrible day. Letting you know I was thinking of you and your family today. Sending you positive thoughts-

Dear Uncle Joe,
It's not like I ever met you, but I think about you a lot. I always wonder what it would have been like if I had met you. I know my dad misses you so much and sometimes he tells stories of when he was a kid. I prayed for you today in Religion class. Someday I will go to Cleveland. I will pray for you.
Love, Sophie
