Dear Mrs. Cestaric,
I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Joe.
I got to know Joe over the past year, when doing some repairs on his John Deere riding lawnmower. Joe was always so kind and friendly, a real pleasure to deal with.
I was pleased to have known him in the brief time we had. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Joe. We have many happy memories of Joe as a fellow member at Willowdale Church. He and Sanda organized beautiful musical programs for our services and also welcomed church members into their home. We want to send our heart felt condolences to Sanda and the rest of the family during this very difficult time.

We were shocked to hear of Joe's passing and deeply saddened. We were just starting to get to know you and then you moved northward. We recall our Sabbath meal together when you came to our home behind the church. We had wonderful conversation and recall how Joe and I (Jack) shared our thoughts on the gospel and we found our spiritual journeys were so similar. Sandy and I were saddened when Sanda and Joe moved away. You were a wonderful couple and Sandy and I were both happy for our all too brief time getting to know you. Please know we are thinking of you and praying that you will be sustained through this sudden loss of someone so dear to you.
With love and fond memories,
Jack & Sandy Gallop

Dearest Cestaric family. From the time I was a little kid Joe was a role model to me. He was always so calm and intelligent in his interactions. He sat and listened and only spoke at the right time with the most intelligent and thought provoking responses.
Joe was the best father anyone could ask for as is evident in the close similarities in character he instilled in his son. If you knew Joe, you know Donny.
It’s with such sadness that he’s gone so early. My emotions and memories all mix together to create a very numb feeling but there is one thing that gives me peace and that is, I will see you again soon.
John 14:1-3
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
You are missed Joe. In a little while we will see you again.

My first memory of Joe will always include his smile, he always seemed to be smiling. Sanda and Joe, I can't imagine one without the other. When I first arrived at Willowdale, Joe and Sanda were the driving force behind a vibrant and inspiring youth and young adult community; they created an exciting, creative, inclusive place for me, as a new Christian.
To say we are sorry for your loss seems insufficient, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hope and faith.

My heart pains at the thought of what your family is going through. I have so many fond memories from my youth which revolve around you. Hayrides and sleepovers, musicals... you guys were incredible role models for us young people. You brought such joy into our lives with your compassion, energy and generosity. Joe’s passing will leave a hole in so many people’s lives, but his impact will remain with us always. I’m honoured to have known him and his memory, and the many memories that he and Sanda are part of will remain forever cherished in my heart. Chrystyna (née Torlao) Lindberg

Dear Sanda, Donny and family,
It was evident that you were at the centre of Joe's life. One of Joe's most admirable qualities was his dedication to his loved ones. We cannot even fathom the void that exists in your hearts. May you find comfort in the blessed hope that we will see each other on the day of resurrection. His kindness, friendship, and warm smile will be missed greatly.
With love Jakov, Ljubica and Isabela

Sincere condolences to Sanda, Brandon, Vesna and family. All who worked with him embraced Joe’s superior expertise, willingness to assist, and calm friendly manner. Over the past several years, I came to know Joe on a personal level, discussing matters of interest and life that far transcended the business at hand. We took on many projects knowing Joe would get us through. This is a tragedy beyond words. We've all lost a great colleague and for me a wonderful friend.

Dearest Joe. From the time I was a little kid you were like a father to us all. You were always so calm and intelligent in your interactions. You sat and listened and only spoke at the right time with the most intelligent and thought provoking responses. You spent so much time working hard for your family with your family as a provider, supporting your wonderful wife Sanda and son Donny as he embarked on his business endeavours always there for him, providing guidance, advice and the loving smile to make things just feel better.
It’s with such sadness that I write this as emotions and memories all mix together to create a very numb feeling.
I too believe that you were taken too soon, and that one day we will all see you again. Until then, rest well. You will be missed by many many people.
