TO the entire Leppo family, ON behalf of myself and my parents (Gary and Arleen Maniff) I wish to extend the most sincere wishes of condolence for this tragic and ill timed loss. I personally grew up with all three Leppo boys and have come to know each of them well and my mother had the opportunity to interact with Ricky and Andrew at Randolph High School so many years ago. It's always a shame to see someone so young die and leave so many people grief stricken. To the extended Leppo family, I am truly sorry for your loss and only hope the months and years ahead will contain some form of comfort and to help you all get through this passing. Jeffrey Maniff

To the Leppo Family,
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memories become a treasure. May the wonderful treasures of Andrew bring you peace. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14.

Andrew would always tell me to stop with the long texts and messages. He wasnt wrong and I do have a habit of long texts, messages etc.
SO THIS EXTRA LONG ONE IS FOR YOU BUDDY......and because though your life wasnt as long as it should of been THE LIST OF ALL YOU WERE AND GOOD YOU DID IS AS LONG AS EVERY TEXT COMBINED IVE PUT YOU THROUGH!!
I first met Andrew and the Leppos when they moved into their condo right across from me 3yrs ago. Little to I know at that time how I would come to be so close to and admire all of them.
I I would like to touch a little on all of them and all of the good they possess starting w/ the admiration and extreme high character of Martin who never said no to any help Ive asked of him. And his beautiful wife the loving, caring and huge heart of Marsha who always makes sure my mom and I are okay. The oldest son Ricky who..........Actually I have nothing good to say about him, ha ha ha ha- Ricky Eric Leppo has become my closest friend since we met. He has one of the biggest hearts full of care and willingness to help ( proof he is Marshas son right, they are a mirror of each other). He has been their for me not just when asked but simply all the time out of the goodness of the person he is. He has been a big part of helping and encouraging me through some of my struggles in life and Is the first every day to make sure my mom is doing OK.
Now.......
Andrew Unna Leppo.
Ive gotten to know Andrew as much as his mom, dad and brother Ricky. *Note- ive never had the pleasure to meet Karl though not surprising I hear he is just like his family w/ high character and many respectable qualitys. The first time I met Andrew I was w/ Ricky and late for an appointment w no license at the time and Andrew who I just met offered to drive me where I needed to be. That was Andrew and the guy he was, didnt even know me yet offered to help. From that day on our friendship grew and became one of many who truly was blessed to call Andrew their friend. Im sure anyone who knows Andrew can relate with the nickname I coined him early on in our friendship which was ~Google~ his genius mind could answer anything and w/ facts and explanation no matter the subject discussed ( DNA doing it job, right?, no doubt he is Martins son). It amazed me how Andrew could Unequivocally answer what you needed to know, hence, google! Ill forever cherish our conversations and challenges on his favorite topic/ sports. It was sports, just as mine, that he loved most. Although he would say WWE wrestling was in his top favorite of sports.....Man I HAD TO CONTINUALLY TELL HIM WWE WASNT REAL AND A FAKE ORCHESTRATED FORM OF SPORTS LOL. I smile thinking of those fun sports talks of the common love, trivia and even arguments of differences. Surely our passion for sports was the first link to our friendship which w/ time added so many more links via sports talk and sadly the hundreds more will have to wait till we meet again. Andrew became a huge part in my life and honestly became a friend like no others. If you knew Andrew you would agree he was unbelievably unique in such away that you were extremely grateful for he was your friend. Now, again, I only knew him for a few years when he became my neighbor and Im not trying to make it out to be that he and I was his closest friendship because I know firsthand there are hundreds and hundreds of people that he was closer with and I just cant imagine those whove known him for years and years and how much more of a special man and friend he was when I thought what I did of him and that was only 3 yrs of knowing him. I am However extremely grateful for those three years and the impact he has made on my life. After a yr of calling him google I told him that nickname was taking a back seat to What I will refer to you going forward as my second older brother. I just didnt make up names for The heck of it, he earned them and they reflected what he meant to me as a friend. Also there are times we were like brothers arguing and fighting, not physical, but through that we became stronger friends And myself such a better person and a man, so much that now I can admit cause of Andrews helping me 90% of those handful of fights/arguments where my fault and/or initiated, provoked or started by me. At the time looking back Id justify in anyway it wasnt me who was wrong and things would just negatively escalate and Andrew really helped my anger issues that not only prevented possible damage to our relationship but also possibly something that could have been real bad down the road but didnt because of his help and caring for me to be better. He believed in me and ALWAYS spoke of how much his family liked me and genuinely wanted to help and guide me away from what was holding me back from being that good person he believed in. THANK GOD & THANK YOU ANDREW truly for being put in my life when I needed it. 100% w/ truth and honesty I have become a better man because of help and caring from Andrew. If Ive ever questioned the saying only the good die young because they are needed by God; I was wrong and will forever believe it, in Andrews case anyway!! Andrew never cut me out of his life even when it would of been justified. He also never forced a situation to become worse. What Andrew did without failure every time we would fight like brothers or when I acted so angrily is calmly sit me down or call me and point out not only my wrongdoings but with understanding accept my anger issues and focus on helping me to realize somethings and help me through so I would get better. Im not afraid to admit I have had my share of tough times during my life and more times than none I certainly was at fault but never could grasp the taking responsibility part when called for and learning and getting better from it. Andrew is a big loss to more important and closer friends and family than I but no one at times meant more to me than my 2nd bigger brother Andrew. He got through to me better than anyone that tried to In the past and to this day Im much better w/ not getting those anger episodes . Andrew taught me first how to precive things how they are intended and not as my thoughts of everyone is out to get me, and then from there how to control my anger and how to think before I said or did something that I may regret. He teaching me to look at it regardless if I had no doubt I wasnt wrong and still look at it if I was wrong!! HE WAS SO SMART and at one point told me the reason he said to take time and think both ways; being right or wrong, was because it took time to do both and taught me that things never look the same as you think they initially do if you Take the time to think about things and not act rashly. What means so much to me in regards to the for mentioned Is how much he cared about people and how much he cared to help them no matter what their problem was.
Ive had some issues in life Ive had to deal with and quite frankly Andrew was always there helping me to better myself which sub-sequentially helped me not only handle such situations that still come about in my life but most importantly helped me grow as person That will continue in my years to always reach to become a better person and that is Andrew; a man of so many good compassionate qualities. I personally feel Andrew was as close as a second big brother you could have! FYI- I do have a brother and he is my big brother who is my idol. After my own blood brother and going forward I choose never to have a 2nd big brother in my life because my only 2nd big brother had passed and in a better place Im sure helping anyway he can. Its the same as when my blood older brother passes I would never have another because their couldnt be one better. SO SAME TO YOU ANDREW> I WILL NEVER HAVE WHAT I CALL A 2ND BIGGER BROTHER BECAUSE I DONT WANT ONE AND COULDN'T EVER FIND ONE BETTER! I will never forget, always love, be THANKFUL FOR and MISS you!
Andrew thank you for never giving up on me and making me a better man!
I will always remember the times when we said goodbye for the day or when ending a conversation on the phone and w/ out failing your voice telling me I love ya buddy!
Well.....FOREVER RIGHT BACK AT YA-except Im adding 2 words at the end of I love ya buddy> and that is
THANK YOU!!!!!
Rest comfortably and look over your loved one!
Till one day soon when I see you again!!
