Larry Lee Joy

Didn´t get much time with Larry since we lived so far away but enjoyed what time I had with him.

Hi, my name is Lesley Denney. I worked at Diablo Foods with Larry for many years. Always loved Larry's sense of humor! And he was forever leaning on a hand truck after delivering produce and stopping to shoot the breeze. He always had a smile on his face and some humorous story. He will never be forgotten. RIP Larry Joy <3

We are planning a 'Day of Honor & Sharing Memories' for Larry on Sunday October 29th, 2023.
Date: Sunday October 29, 2023
Time: 1:00 PM
Place: Sycamore Homes Clubhouse
635 OLD ORCHARD DR, DANVILLE, CA 94526

Uncle Larry, Thank you for taking care of others so generously and mostly thank you for taking care of dad and helping him be in the position to retire! The other day I found the baseball tickets that you got for us all from last year. I cried happy tears at the memories from that day. I am incredibly thankful for those few days we all got to hang with one another. You brought us together one last time! The time shared with you and dad is a precious memory I hold tight. I will always remember sitting on the back porch with you as the sun began to set trying to figure out how to help dad with his new cell phone! All the laughs and how genuine you always were. I will always find "Joy" at your quirky ways of collecting laundry soap and having a chocolate stash! I will miss your jokes and ability to pretty much say anything! I love you and will cherish the many memories I have with you!

"Something Beautiful Remains" Unknown

The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.

The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.

The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains.

For every 'Joy' that passes, something beautiful remains.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die."

My dear brother, in my heart you shall remain.

We (Jerry and me) were one of the lucky couples to attend a concert with Jan and Larry. Larry was a generous soul making a produce donation to a non-profit where I worked for several years. He truly loved Jan, my friend for over 36 years. Whenever Jan spoke of Larry her eyes would light up.
Rest In Power dear Larry.

Uncle Larry - I will miss you so much. Thank you for always being such a cool dude. I know you fought so hard to the very end! Thank you for all the late nights eating turnovers and watching Breaking Bad. I will treasure the memories forever. I love you!
