As hard as it is to believe that Pops is gone after we all heard he was getting better, could very well be just Joe not wanting everyone freaking out about. I honestly believe we are born dying. And from Pink Floyd "Shorter of breath one day closer to death". Somethings in life are meant to be kept on the down low.

Joe was very well liked by those that met, him and those who only read his post. When a member or a members loved ones pass on TGT the out pouring of sympathy is proof of what I have ad for years "Some of the best people you may never met are on here!"

I didn't know him well at all but he seemed like a good guy with a good sense of humor. RIP Pops.

Amen.

Joe was one of my real friends. He was there during and after my divorce and one of a few that kept me on the right path; one of encouragement and true friendship.

I’ll miss him. I’ll do what I can to take what I learned from him and apply those teachings. Miss and love him.

Updates on any funeral arrangements please let me know.

Joe Testa was a Gentleman, by classic definition. Time and circumstances had worn any rough edges that may have been present in his youth. There was no better a man to emulate. Godspeed, Joe.

Sorry for the loss to the family and friends including on here. Good and caring dude from what I gather from reading his posts the past few years. Godspeed Sir.

Just seeing this. I’m stunned. Joe was a good egg.

I never had the pleasure to meet him in person but did get to correspond with him on several occasions.

Lifting him up and loved ones in prayers.
