I am saddened by the untimely passing of a friend, Stefano Testa. He was a friend to all who knew him and a unique personality in our Sun City community.

His charming accent and sunny disposition were his demeanor. His cooking classes with the assistance of his wife, Gabrielle, were good enough to appear on "Saturday Night Live."

I personally, and all who knew him, will certainly miss him. Rest in peace, friend.
