Joseph Tesi passed away peacefully on December 28, 2025, at the age of 72. He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Joseph is survived by his loving sons, John Tesi and his wife Flora, and Joseph Tesi Jr. and his wife Diana. He was a proud and devoted grandfather to Lola, Faye, Jiana, and Joseph, who brought him immense joy and happiness.

He is also survived by his siblings: Sal Tesi and his wife Karen, Jim Tesi and his wife Sue, and Genevieve Rubinstein and her husband Fred Rubinstein. Joseph leaves behind many nieces and nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom will cherish his memory.
