Retired Navy Captain John J. Joyce of Amelia Island Florida, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2016. He was 83 years old.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois in September of 1933. After completing high school he joined the U.S. Navy to be in the submarine force. While in port at Portsmouth, N.H., he met his future bride, Margaret, who was from nearby Dover, N.H. She became a Navy wife and they were married for 58 years.

He is also survived by his son John and daughter Janna who reside in Massachusetts. His brother Father Gerald resides in Chicago, Illinois; a sister, Eileen of Wisconsin and another sister, Joanne in Florida.

Besides his family, his proudest achievement was advancing from Seaman all the way to the rank of Captain. His dedication to duty, outstanding work ethic and love of country no doubt helped him attain this most honorable rank. His last duty station was in Kings Bay, Georgia, where he served as the first Executive Officer of the Trident Refit Facility. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy for forty years. In retirement he was very active with Habitat for Humanity, building homes on Amelia Island, Florida, and enjoying every minute of it. In this endeavor, he formed many new and lasting relationships which he always cherished. He was a member of the Nassau Sport Fishing Association and loved working in the food tent at the islands annual Shrimp Festival. He was a member of the American Legion Post 54. Many a tale was told there with his fellow veterans. Once a Captain always a Captain; they say. He was always willing to supervise a neighbor if they had a project going; whether they wanted it or not!

He leaves behind many close friends that had become like a family to him.  He will be deeply missed by all. Happy hour will not be the same without Captain John. In true Naval tradition, his burial will be conducted at sea by the U.S. Navy. Fairwinds and following seas my friend. A memorial service will be planned for a later date.

Also preceding her in death was one brother, Ryan Davis. Having been embraced by a Christian family, Cindy’s spiritual foundation was formed at an early age within the First Baptist Church of Yulee, Florida.

Cindy’s early education came by way of the Nassau County Public School System. She graduated from Fernandina Beach High School in 1978. She attended Concorde Institute as a certified nursing assistant (CNA).

Cindy and Gary Scipio of Kings Ferry, Georgia, were united in Holy matrimony on May 8, 1996. They were happily married for 20 wonderful years. Their marriage was indeed a blessing and a testimony to their bond and faith in God.

Bottom line (to quote her church family), “Cindy basically did anything that was asked of her.”

Cindy was known by many as a warm, caring, God-fearing woman. She loved the Lord, her Pastor, her church and her family. Cindy never met a stranger. She was seen as a social butterfly, always visiting her family, friends and church members. She loved to cook and share her meals with others.
