Mike, It's been 10 years since you left us but I can't tell you how many times I have thought about you over those years! I still have the sign on my garage that says "Mike Testa Drive" in your honor my friend. You were a good friend a good iron worker but most of all were a great human being that was there for everyone! Mike I know one thing for sure when you left us to go home you stood "Proud In The Presence Of The Lord"

My deepest condolences to Michael's family. I only knew Mike from our meetings at the Honorary PBA in Clark, but I always liked his open and good-natured attitude and the friendly ways he communicated with me and our fellow members. We all will miss him.
Unfortunately, I will not be able today to pay my last respects in person.

We weren't lucky enough to have met Michael personally, but his aunt was our cousin-in-law and we knew how much she loved Mike. His life was too short, but he accomplished much and will be missed by many. God bless all who knew and loved Mike.

Danny and Karina: I have been unable to see Michael for a number of years. I have fond memories of him as a young boy when I visited my sister and his dad. We used to go to the park every morning and feed the ducks. I remember the tool box he got for Christmas one year--his favorite toy! He worshipped his father and wanted to build things and do construction work. He loved Leggo toys! Although he is gone, we know he will be remembered and missed by all who knew him because we know he had a big heart. Bless you both for taking care of everything. There's a special place in heaven that Michael will keep for you. Michael will be deeply missed.

Mike, I cannot tell what privilege it was working with you and becoming your friend. I have never met a more loyal, honest, caring human being in the 55 years I've been alive. Whenever I get down I will always go back to big smile you would greet me with in the morning. Mike the way I see it from where I'm standing a thousand doves should escort you to heaven. God Bless you Mike

There are some people that make everyday life more enjoyable. Mike was one of those people. He would infuse every situation with his positive attitude and just to the heart goodness. He was a rare individual and will be missed by all who knew him.
