To the Testa Family,
I just got word of Joe's passing and I am sorry to hear about your loss. I know it's been many years but I will always remember the years we grew up together at Holy Spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Testa family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Our family also lost a son and we know how tough this is and will be. We got to know Joe well while working with the Ballingers. He also worked for us at the drive thru. I can't count how many times he and Nikki went round and round about Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon. They would debate sports until the sun went down. When tragedys happen like this, it is always the best to hear how that person touched so many lives with sometimes the smallest things. I hope that you will cherish how many lives your son touched.

Thank you all for posting your messages and for keeping my family in your prayers. Some of you I had not heard from in many years and it was nice to know you were thinking of us. I will always remember those great "carefree" days as you mentioned Sean.
Although Joey never settled down to get married or have children, he so much loved spending time with my 3 daughters. They got so excited when they were going to see Uncle Joey.
Thank you all again for taking the time to think of us.
Joey will be missed but always remembered.

To the Testa Family,
We were very sad to hear of Joe's passing. Natalie remembers him from Hartley, and of course he and Jerry were good friends in our Holy Spirit days and through high school. I remember laughing a lot with Joey, and having a great time playing two-on-two with him, Dave, Jerry and I. We would play for hours, and always enjoy the moment.
We had great fun sledding too, especially when we fashioned make-shift ski's out of old plywood. We were great at having,"no money fun".
He touched a lot of lives in very positive ways, and I am thankful for having known him in those formative years. I will remember him fondly, and pray that you all find the strength you need to bear this cross.
May God's love be with you now and always, and I pray that the words of family and friends are a comfort to you.
Sincerely,
Sean and Natalie Hanrahan
