Father Joyce retired in 1987 after serving 35 years as the chief financial officer of Notre Dame during the presidency of Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C. The two priests took a long vacation immediately after their retirements, and Father Hesburgh wrote about the adventure and their friendship in his 1992 book "Travels with Ted & Ned."
"Father Ned Joyce was my right-hand man for the entire 35 years that I was president of Notre Dame," Father Hesburgh wrote. "It would be impossible to recount, even in cursory fashion, all the great things he did for Notre Dame during his 35 years as executive vice president. Without him, both the University and I would have been much diminished.
