Michael G. “MJ” Joyce; beloved brother to Shawn (Paula), Maureen, Sheila, and Peter (Marcy) Gleason. Loving uncle to Joshua, Bridget Scaglione, Zachary, Luke Hammes, Bianca (Sean) Gallivan, Gracie, and Stella Gleason. Fond cousin to many. And a friend to all.
Michael enlisted in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. His assignment was to work with computer systems. In civilian life, he continued his work as a computer expert.
Michael was a kind soul. He was generous with both his time and his resources for those in need. He spent many years volunteering at Holy Name Cathedral. Michael was also an avid traveler. Years ago, he purchased a lifetime pass on American Airlines, and he traveled the world.
Services will be held on Thursday, January 9 from 11 AM to 1 PM at Gibbons Family Funeral Home 5917 W. Irving Park Rd., Chicago, IL 60634. Interment private. For info (773) 777-3944 or www.GFFH.com
I remember Mike well from my years at Holy Name. He was generous with his time and tech expertise and always a pleasant presence. May he know God’s peace now.
