I was so sorry to hear of Joy’s passing. I was one of her opponents over the pool table at the VFW and also joined her on the golf course. For many a fun time. Joy’s laugh was infectious so a missed putt was no big deal. She was full of life and fun to be around. My sympathies to Jimmy Bradford and the family.
