I too had both Mr. AND Mrs. Joyce as principals from 1st to 5th grade and while in high school I worked for them driving a school bus! Walking into his office for a job interview was no less intimidating than if I were in elementary school! What an icon to our community. He will be missed. My thoughts will be with his family.
