A true gentelman in  every aspect of the word. He will be dearly missed. The knowing that he's back with the love of his life makes his passing almost happy in a way. I will always love and never forget my wonderful Grandpa Joe. I feel very proud to call myself a TESTA! Love and Respect to all!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                                             Grandson, Joseph Anthony Testa III

Our greatest hope in life is that we leave the world better than we arrived.  In Rosemarie and Joe, their children, and grandchildren, Joseph's legacy is in great hands.  Thank you, "Papa Joe," for all you were and all you gave.  You truly left the world a better place.

Hi Joe and J.T.,
This is Kevin Sullivan and I just wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to the both of you. Joe, I know you spent all lot of time the past years caring for and keeping your Dad company. Missing someone that is so close is difficult, but we know he is in a good place and happy! The contact number I have for you Joe is 408/234-3750 but is outdated...email me back with a way to get in touch and I will call. Perhaps we could imbibe on my side of the hill? J.T., I hope all is well with you and your young one.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad.  I remember him and your beautiful mom Barbara at all the Holy Cross functions when we were kids.  They were both such wonderful people.  I wish all of you peace and comfort during such a difficult time in your lives.
