Three Beloved NYC Restaurateurs Died From Complications Related to Coronavirus In April | Eater NY

"A longtime Bay Ridge tavern and neighborhood fixture, JJ Bubbles was run by Joe Joyce for 42 years; I learned that Joyce, 74, who had been in relatively good health (he did not smoke and had stopped drinking four years after opening), was admitted to the hospital on March 27 with low oxygen levels after returning from a March 1–14 cruise and died from COVID-19 complications on April 9, and that his bar had functioned as a de-facto gay bar in a relatively conservative neighborhood." - Tanay Warerkar
