Honoring a local business owner.
On Thursday, May 28, U.S. Rep. Max Rose paid tribute to Joe Joyce on the floor of the House of Representatives. Joyce, who owned the popular Bay Ridge bar JJ Bubbles for more than 40 years, died of COVID-19 on April 9. He was 74.
“I rise today to remember all of those whom we have lost to the coronavirus,” said Rose, “and one man in particular who is close to my heart, and the hearts of thousands of people in my district, Joe Joyce may best be known for his bar in Bay Ridge, JJ Bubbles, but the truth is he served our community much more than cold beer. His generous spirit touched countless lives on both sides of the Verrazzano.”
