Pete was my Grandmother's brother. He first married Mary Evelene Crump and had Helen June (Joyce) Mitchell and Ronnie Gene Joyce (1942 - 2007). He then married Ella Mae (McCloud) Joyce and had Sandra, Iris and William. He had a total of 13 grandchildren.
Uncle Pete was a nice guy. He was as unpretentious as they come. He lived near my Uncle Riley and we would drive by and see him sitting in the driveway in his chair and stop by. He was always glad to see me and willing to talk. He had to go on dialysis near the end of his life. He was a good man, I miss him.
