Edward B. Testa

Was my mentor for the PJAS. I owe him for my love of science. Rest easy.

I want to tell everyone how sad I was to see Mr. Test had passed away. I was a 7th grade student at Valley View and remembered Mr. Testa as one of the nicest and best teachers I had. I, too, became a teacher and have recently retired. I will always remember the Science Fair project I made for his class. A model of a spaceship landing on the surface of the moon! Mr. Testa was always inspiring and loved to help his students. I truly hope that he was able to spend lots of time with his family...

Cindy and Alicia and families- We are so sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of your dad, watching football, playing outside, lots of laughs and all of our family visits. Much love

To the Testa Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with
you at this time.
Ann & Jerry Valonis & Family

Dear Cindy and Alicia,

I want you to know that I am praying for your family at this time of loss. Your parents were always so good to me when I first met them in the early 1980's. Your mother and I had good times working together in Carbondale and your father was a wonderful husband! He loved you girls so much and was so proud of you.

Take care of yourselves. God bless you and your families.

Cindy, Alicia and families.
Very saddened to read of my dear friend's passing.
I realize his last few years were a struggle so I view his passing as a blessing as well as a profound personal loss for you all.
He was such an asset to his students not only in the classroom but also as Student Council advisor.
He's probably up there right now organizing a dance, disco ball and all, or a volleyball tournament or a blood drive, etc.
He provided many enjoyable events and experiences...

I just wanted to let the family know what a great teacher he was. I had him at the Archbald or Blakley school. That shows you how long ago and how young he was. I and four other students where having a very hard time in his class. He pulled us all aside and asked if we were interested in staying after school for one hour, three days a week to help us. We all jumped at that chance. We knew he was doing this unpaid. In one months time we all were passing his class. I had him again the...

Mr. Testa was a teacher of mine back in 1970. He was a wonderful teacher but also a fine human being. May he rest in peace
