May 29, 1927 – February 24, 2014
A self-made man and loving father. . .

Funeral Services:Church on Saturday 28th February 2014
funeral:Military Honors: Heaven's Gate Cemetery
James Vincent Joyce was born on May 29, 1927 at 839 State Route 417 in Andover, New York, and passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, February 24, 2014.
Mr. Joyce was born in Wheeling, New York. Eldest of six children of the late Vincent James Joyce and Alice Graves Joyce. He grew up on his family farm in Andover, joined the U.S. Army after high school, and served with the occupying forces in Germany. Demonstrating an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age, he managed a series of PX branches that quickly turned profitable. He meets a young German woman, Helma Petermann, who works as a translator. They were married in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in 1948, shortly before his return to the United States.
After returning home, he and his brother Charles created a natural gas and oil pipeline, the Joyce Pipeline. In many ways, Mr. Joyce embodies the perfect example of the postwar American dream. A true self-made man, he learned to fly planes and helicopters to oversee his expanding pipeline business, which eventually stretched from Canada to the United States to Central America and Venezuela. A highlight of his career was the pipeline in Alaska, in which pipeline companies played a key role. He even traveled to Iran before the Shah was overthrown to investigate the construction of the pipeline there, but luckily he decided against it. Before the Castro regime came to power, he and his wife visited Cuba several times and often traveled to Mexico. He then fell in love with all things "Latino" related, especially food and music. He even arranged for his favorite mariachi band from Laredo, Texas to perform at his youngest daughter's wedding.
To pursue his diverse interests in the energy sector, he invested in coal mining in West Virginia and Kentucky, and was an early proponent of replacing uranium in nuclear reactors with the more efficient rare-earth element thorium. This trend continues to this day. A lifelong Republican, he was still invited to the inaugurations of Kennedy and Nixon.
In 1948, Joyce began his career as a plumbing contractor with a Fortson tractor and backhoe attachment. In addition to maintaining local milk routes in the Andover area, Joyce began building small pipelines for local oil producers and natural gas companies. As the plumbing business grew, Joyce received more orders and with the help of his brothers Charles and later Don, by the end of the 1950's Joyce Pipeline employed over 200 employees. Joyce utilizes locals in the Andover area to give them a promotion for their dedicated and hard working company. By the late 1960's, Joyce Western had grown to over 1,200 full-time and seasonal employees and was growing into a multi-purpose business. Joyce never forgot his hometown roots and was instrumental in supporting the advancement of Allegheny County, New York. He was instrumental in the construction of the Andover Little League complex and in the relocation of Wellsville Airport to its current location. Joyce is a self-taught airplane and helicopter pilot who always has a helipad in his front yard, ready to take off. Joyce spent hours in the air, flying from job to job in his plane. As Joyce Western expanded, it began building and operating pipelines across the United States, with contract support in Alaska and Australia.
His proudest accomplishments include building and operating a fuel pipeline from Tampa to Orlando, Florida. Constructed and operated a pipeline for SAC headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, a pipeline to transport kerosene to MacDill Air Force Base, New Jersey, and another pipeline to supply fuel to Tampa International Airport, followed by The Tampa Anhydrous Ammonia Distribution Port has phosphate mines in the middle of the state. Joyce's predictions about future energy needs prompted him to mine thorium in the mountains of Idaho. Other major pipeline projects include welding work on the Mooba pipeline in Sydney, Australia. Several integrated natural gas projects in New York, Palestine, and Venezuela; including a 55-mile, 30-inch pipeline in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. More than 120 miles of the Tennessee natural gas pipeline in western New York and northern Pennsylvania. Constructed gas collection system for Coors Brewers of Golden, Colorado. Installed 36 inches of pipe at the Red River intersection in Texas and Oklahoma. Gathered natural gas over the years for numerous projects for Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and Algonquin Gas in New England.
For the rest of his long life, Joyce continued to be interested in all things to do with energy production. However, he was a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather who enjoyed every moment with his growing family. Although Helma died in 2002, he lived in the house they built together in 1959. As his health declined, he was cared for by his caretaker, Betty Matison, and devoted caretakers, family and friends.
In addition to his wife, Helma, his siblings Charles Joyce, W. Donald Joyce, Joan Dibble, and Sandra Howland also died. His sister, Mary Ann Davis of Andover, is survived. Children: Katherine Joyce (George) Biondor, Montauk, NY, Vincent James (Deborah) Joyce, and Kristen (Michael J.
