With a roof over his head, Joyce had been taking advantage of programming available through the sleeping cabin pilot project. Wilson says Joyce was an example of how a person can get their life on track with the proper supports in place. “He was motivated to get housed and come back and have a job with us. He had been doing the courses that our employees do.”Sleeping cabin staff member Mark Sousa says Joyce’s presence will be missed.
“He had the biggest heart anyone could have. He would give you the shirt off his back. He helped all the residents that are here and he helped staff with cleaning and working.” Staff and residents at the sleeping cabin community are holding a meeting Monday evening to plan a celebration of life for Joyce. A service is being held at Gordon F. Tompkins funeral home on Davis Drive this Friday starting at 11 a.m. His family says all are welcome.
