Joe was cremated and his ashes were scattered on many of his favorite locations and the remainder buried in Hagerman.
Husband, Dad, brother, Grandpa, GGPa, Uncle, friend, Joe Helterbran arrived on this earth October 6, 1919 in Kalous, Colorado and was promptly cradled in a dresser drawer by his parents Blanche and Rex.  He grew up helping his siblings, Lucille, Verle, Inez and Wayne, herd sheep and farm in the northeast corner of Colorado, near the small town of Keota.    He was drafted during his freshman year at Colorado State College in Greely and served in the South Pacific during World War II.  Ultimately he was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington where he met the love of his life, Eunice Condit.  They married in November of 1945, moved back to Greely and eventually moved on to San Francisco, California.  He was Daddy to two daughters, Gloria and Penny raised in San Francisco and San Mateo, California.  Thirty years of his life were devoted to managing service stations for Standard Oil and serving his church.   After retiring in 1977, he and Eunice relocated to Gooding, Idaho.  Fishing, travel, pinochle, camping, croquet, mowing his pristine acre of grass and being grandpa kept him busy.  Boise became home in 1992 and there he became GGPa remaining active with his church, family and friends.  He and Eunice celebrated 65 years of marriage in November of 2010.
