Al Barrios says
Captain Testa was the TFC at “old” Fire Station 80. I was young on the job. He was my captain. I always admired his leadership and passion drilling us daily to prepare for the “big one”. I also enjoyed his company when we carpooled to and from the station sharing his experiences and wisdom. He was a kind and compassionate man with a great sense of humor. RIP Ben.
My condolences to the Testa family. 42 years on pension is impressive!
