Joseph Fetch Obituary
Joseph Anton Fetch, Jr.
Joseph Anton Fetch, Jr., 83, of Billings entered eternal rest on Jan. 26, 2022, surrounded by his family. Born July 29, 1938, in Beulah, North Dakota to Joseph Sr. and Barbara Schutt Fetch. On Nov. 17, 1959, Joe married the love of his life, Georgine (Jean) Dvorak. Joe spent more than 50 years owning and operating his company, Joe's Electric.
Joe enjoyed spending his time outdoors, fishing and playing cards with his friends and family. Joe was a self-taught accordion player, playing in the family Polka band for many years with his father and brother-in-law, Dewayne. Although learning to play the accordion is quite a feat, Joe's proudest accomplishment was in 1994, when he achieved the highest honor in the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge, The Pilgrim Degree of Merit. Joe served as the Administrator of the local Moose Lodge for 15 years, becoming a certified Life Member of the Billings Lodge #558.
Preceding Joe in death are his parents: Joseph and Barbara Fetch; sisters: Pauline Fricks (Dewayne) and Marie Fettig; son, Daniel Dvorak and daughter, Lisa Fetch.
Joe is survived by his wife, Jean Fetch; daughters: Cindy Roesler (Mark), Jeanne Fetch; Reyne McEuen (Dan) and Bobbi Cochran (Leonard); daughter-in-law: Karen Dvorak; son, Donald Dvorak (Bernie); sister, Marge Maichel; brother, Edward Fetch (Shirley), nine grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Joe at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to a charity of choice.

Joe will be greatly missed. He was one of my best friends for over 30 years. He was always there to lend a helping hand or to just lend an ear if I needed to talk. We also worked together for several years at the Moose Lodge. He was a great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family. Rest in Peace Joe.

Sad to hear of Joe´s passing. He was one of my most loyal customers at Graybar Electric for over 30 years and I really enjoyed our daily visits about life in general and our south side roots. May he Rest In Peace!
