Requiescat in Pace, Sgt. Joyce. I enjoyed your posts and your knowledge, deeply regret that I never met you in person.

As a kid, my dad would take me into Boston on the T and I'd look around and wonder how something like that ever came to be and how it worked. I mean, you know how buildings get made - that happens every day. You can see a bridge get built. But subways were always this exotic thing that no one seemed to know much about. The T was just there and it had always been there. But I wanted to know more.
Much later, I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of people like Paul Joyce, who filled in the history, knew the trivia and would be more than happy to get in a lively debate about the past, present or future.
He's been such a fixture here in my seven years on the forums that it's hard to imagine him not dropping by the next thread to offer some insight or critique.
He'll be missed.
