JOYCE
Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 5, 1999, in Acton, for Larry E. Joyce, 60, who died April 30, 1999, at his home in Granbury after a lengthy battle with leukemia.
Officiating will be Dr. William P. Boyd, senior pastor of the Acton church, and the Rev. Beverly Carnes, former associate pastor. Burial with full military honors will be at 9 a.m. Friday, May 7, 1999, at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va. Mr. Joyce will be buried with his son, Casey.
Mr. Joyce, a former career U.S. Army officer and Vietnam veteran who later became an executive with two major health organizations, gained national recognition when he took on the Clinton administration officials to seek changes in American policy involving the use of military personnel in peace-keeping operations. His campaign began shortly after Casey, an U.S. Army Ranger, was killed Oct. 3, 1993, in a firefight in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Mr. Joyce's views were presented in several top national publications and during interviews on every major network. He also wrote articles that appeared in various national and regional newspapers.
His efforts were climaxed by an appearance before the Senate Armed Services Committee and a personal meeting with President Clinton. When the committees report was withheld from the public, Mr. Joyce again took his case to the public, resulting in its release in September 1994. The report criticized Clinton administration officials and the miltary's use of special operations forces. More importantly, government leaders developed and implemented new policies on the use of American fighting forces in peace-keeping activities.
Mr. Joyce was born July 8, 1938, in Dallas. He graduated from Merkel High School in Merkel in 1956 and from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, with a bachelor of business administration degree in 1960. While in college, Mr. Joyce was president of the world-famous HSU Cowboy Band and was named an ROTC Distinguished Military Graduate, leading to a commission after graduation as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
A year later, Mr. Joyce's battle group was ordered to West Berlin as a show of American resolve when the Soviet Union erected the infamous Berlin Wall. In 1963, Mr. Joyce volunteered to be one of the first American combat advisors to the Republic of Vietnam. He returned to Vietnam in 1967 as a helicopter pilot.
In 1970, Mr. Joyce was selected for U.S. Army Command General Staff College. While still in the Army, he attended graduate school at Texas Tech University, where he earned a master's degree in mass communications. That led to a promotion to lieutenant colonel and the post of general manager of the European-Middle East edition of Stars and Stripes, a newspaper for military personnel and their families. He completed his military career at the Pentagon where he was chief spokesperson for the Secretary of the Army and the Army Chief of Staff.
While serving in the Army, Mr. Joyce received the Bronze Star with oak leaf cluster, Meritorious Service Medal with four oak leaf clusters, Air Medal for Valor with 12 oak leaf clusters, Army Commendation Medal, Combat Infantryman's Badge, and the Republic of Vietnam's Cross of Gallantry.
In 1980, Mr. Joyce joined Dallas-based EDS in the Insurance Division. Two years later, he became vice president for the American Heart Association's Office of Communications at the National Center in Dallas. He guided that organization through the writing of a strategic plan and major refinement of its image. He also took charge of the American Heart Association's scientific publishing operations.
Mr. Joyce moved to the American Medical Association in Chicago in 1990 as senior vice president for communications and publishing. While there, he consolidated all the American Heart Association's mass communications functions and reorganized and streamlined the scientific publishing operation resulting in all-time high net profits.
He returned to the American Heart Association in 1995 as vice president for corporate relations and retired in 1998 due to ill health.
Mr. Joyce is survived by his wife of 39 years, Gail Galbraith Joyce; a son, Steven Joyce of Granbury; a daughter, Sancy Joyce of Austin; parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Joyce of Sweetwater; three grandchildren, NIcholas, Colin and Samantha, all of Granbury; grandmother, Clara Hendrix of Sweetwater; mother-in-law, Mary Galbraith of Abilene; brother-in-law, Dr. Gervis Galbraith of Abilene; three sisters-in-law, Kandy Galbraith Lee of Laguna Beach, Calif., Deborah Galbraith Connolly of Santa Ana, Calif., and Donna Galbraith Oliver of Graham; nine nieces and nephews; three great-nephews; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of good friends. He was preceded in death by his youngest son, Sgt. James Casey Joyce.
Pallbearers will be Rodman D. Starke, M.D.; John S. Peppers, major general, U.S. Army (Ret.); Lee T. Massey, colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.); Thomas W. Johnson, colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.); Jack Burton; Gervis Galbraith, M.D.; Gene Hendrix; and Sam Castranova.
