Guido Festa Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 28, 2025.

Guido A. "Guy" Festa passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 22, 2025, in Eagleville, Pennsylvania. He was 95 years old. Guido was the loving husband of the late Rose Marie (Meade) Festa; they shared 61 wonderful years of marriage.

Born on November 24, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he was the beloved son of the late Gennaro Pompilio Festa and Assunta Onorato. He was also predeceased by his brother, Joseph Festa.

Throughout his career, Guido demonstrated dedication and leadership. He worked at Cordomatic in Philadelphia for over 30 years, rising to the position of Vice President before resigning. He later served as Purchasing Director at Moss Rehabilitation in Philadelphia. After an early retirement, he returned to the workforce with BioPharm (Omnicare) as Director of Purchasing.

Guido proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War.

In his leisure time, he enjoyed reading the Philadelphia Inquirer and pursued hobbies such as winemaking and photography, which brought him much joy over the years.

Guido is survived by his loving children: Jeanie, Nanci, and Guy (Georgia). He is also fondly remembered by his cherished grandchildren: Eric, Ashley, and Skyelur; and great-grandchildren: Addison, Thomas, and Alivia.

His legacy of love and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Mr. Festa, as I knew him, along with Mrs. Festa, were striking in their commitment to family and neighborhood, raising three wonderful children. He was a walking definition of a family man.
His fondness and enthusiasm for his hobbies, especially those listed, were obvious. He assembled a working darkroom for his photography, and fermented his own brand of wine, "From the House of Festa." All of these undertakings transformed the Festa basement into something of a curiosity factory, a walk-through of which would trigger a plethora of conversation starters.
The Festa family moved into their home in the Village Green neighborhood sometime around 1969, where they established themselves as model neighbors. Their son Guy and I met in grade school and have been lifelong pals since. Both the Festa daughters were always sweet and respectful towards me, frequently tolerating untold levels of household noise generated by Guy and me, as well as ferrying us out to just about every G-rated movie ever made. Mr. and Mrs. Festa were, of course, nothing short of wonderful.
While we share the remaining Festa family's grief, let us take solace that Mr. Festa, with his lovely wife, now resides in that Village Green neighborhood upstairs, always looking out for the kids in town. I pray these humble words find the heart-broken Festa children in otherwise good health and circumstance.
