We met Joseph after reaching out to him because we acquired one of his art pieces. It’s a beautiful 6 foot moth on canvas. We found it in the attic of a house we bought. He and  his wife are gracious enough to invite us and our children to visit with him in their home and temple Terrace. The kids were enamored with the house and his artwork. He and his wife are so kind. They took the children into the studio and showed them what he was working on. We visited for quite a while and we’re very happy that we did. We are so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful, loving man. We treasure our our peace done by him. The johnson family.

Debbie (rt) and Karen (middle)... thank you Mr. Testasecca for all the wonderful art lessons we recieved as young children in the late 60's. 
May you Rest in Peace,  Mr. T.

This is me (rt), and my two sisters who were taught art by Mr Testasecca at Ballast Point Elementary School in the late sixties. We all loved and respected him as a teacher, and grew up to be artist ourselves. Our sister Teri has passed on, but my sister Karen (middle) and I wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Joseph Testasecca. Rest in Peace, Mr. T. ♥️

Joe was a class act. He has been in my life, all my life. I will always remember his funny wit, his amazing smile, great laugh and fantastic style. My friends still talk about he and Alicia at my wedding, they looked like A list celebrities. He will be very missed. Rest easy Joe. 
Love Always-Susan

Dear Alicia,
I’m so sad for you in the passing of Joe. He was so much fun to work with in the school district. His office was next door to Claudia’s, need I say no more. He always went to bat for the elementary music department and especially the strings program. He literally saved the program from being cut because he believed that kids that are in the fine arts do better all the way around. I loved him from the very first day that I met him. I said to myself, “ this guy is more sarcastic than me and is going to give me a run for my money, and that he did!
Rest with the angels dear friend.
Love, Karen❤️
