Our dear Brother & Elder Andy Lesko was a faithful Witness to Jehovah to the end. He is greatly loved and will always be remembered for displaying the fruitages of Jehovah's Holy Spirit found at Galatians 5:22. I look forward to spending forever with him on the restored Paradise Earth.

We are very sorry for your loss. We stopped to see Andy not long ago; he was mowing his lawn - in his shirt and tie! That was Andy.
We hope you take comfort knowing he's in Jehovah's memory.
