Jack Joyce Performing Camels

Posted By on July 5, 2012

All of my uncles on the Henry side had nothing but great things to say about Jack Joyce. They use to say if it had four legs he could train it.

    Yes Jack was a great trainer and great presenter. He, Jorgen Cristiansen and my father were my idols. I was in Davenport dates with Jack when his camel act was a big deal to be sure. Over the years I was around Jack a number times-places including Rbbb.

    I am Jack’s great nephew. My grandmother was his sister. Just heard RBBBC is closing. Sad news… My grandmother always talked of Jack and all his wild animal adventures.

    Hi.
    I am reading all available meterial written about Jack Joyce Sr. I just recently discovered that Jack Sr. was my grandfather. My mother was born in Copenhagen in 1919, Jack Sr. was her father, according to official Danish archives. Thus Jack Joyce the camel trainer was my uncle. Quite interesting
