Dad, you left us twelve years ago. Where has time went? I'm still heartbroken and think of you every single day. Until we meet again...
Your Loving Daughter, Barbara

TEN years. Ten long years you have been gone. So much has changed. In this past decade we have welcomed NUMEROUS of your grand-children and Great-grand children into our family. So many holidays, birthdays, school events, and life events that have gone by without your physical smile, your beautiful baritone voice, your expression of music, and your embracing hugs and kisses. It's been so hard on many of us without you here to lean on and guide us. Mom has been doing her absolute best to fill the void that has been left, but your absence will never go unnoticed. We love and miss you immensely dad. May your stereo be loud, your water heater be up to date, and your whiskey sours be made with the "cheap" stuff always!

We love you dad.

Brian, Debbie, Hunter, Alexis, Harper, and Jaxson.

8 Years later and still no easier without you physically here. I am reminded of your presence every day through my own actions, my children's wisdom, and my bull headed convictions. You were the rock in our family and we have all had to step up collectively to fill that void created by your early departure from us. You are forever missed by your family and friends. I love you Dad.

Dear Joyce Family,
Please accept my condolences on Tom's passing.
I was a young engineer at Honeywell who Tom took under his wing and provided guidance, about life as well as work.
He was an excellent mentor and friend

The Joyce house on Marrett Road in Burlington…safe haven and fun house for all neighborhood teens…Mr. Joyce was super smart and larger than life…side by side with the super sweet and funny Mrs. Joyce. Many of us have very fond memories we carry to this day because Mr. Joyce kept the door wide open…. My deepest sympathies to all.
