Thomas "Tom" Alan Leppo

Thomas "Tom" Alan Leppo, 67, of Bristow, Virginia, passed away on July 13, 2025. Born on December 17, 1957, in Hanover, Pennsylvania, Tom was the son of the late Raymond W. Leppo and Esther E. (Shoemaker) Leppo. He grew up in Pennsylvania and pursued his education at Penn State University’s York campus, where he earned an Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering Technology. Tom dedicated over three decades to a successful career in electrical engineering. His professional journey included roles at Murata/Erie N.A., Inc., VSE Corp, Computer Sciences Corp, Lockheed Martin, Dominion Wireless, and Rockwell Collins. After retiring from engineering, Tom continued to serve his community by working for eight years as a school bus driver with Prince William Schools. He took pride in safely transporting elementary, middle, and high school students each day. Tom found great joy in spending time with family and friends. He cherished vacations -many of which were at the beach (Maryland, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida), trips to New England, Mid West, Viginia, West Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, Canada and Bahamas that often included visits to museums, historical landmarks, lighthouses and waterfalls—his passion for history & landmarks was a constant companion on every trip. Memorial Day weekends were especially meaningful as they were spent camping with neighbors and loved ones. When his children were young, Tom enthusiastically coached their baseball and basketball teams and remained a steadfast supporter at school functions and sporting events throughout their lives. A devoted reader of the Washington Post, Tom kept up with world and local news as well as sports coverage. He was an avid fan of professional baseball, football, and basketball—and held a special place in his heart for Penn State’s football and basketball programs. Among all his interests and commitments, Tom’s bond with his grand dog Dexter—a half Yellow Lab and Irish Setter—was truly special. The two shared countless hours together at home and at the dog park; their companionship brought him immense happiness. Tom is survived by his beloved wife Tammy L.(Seybolt) Leppo; his son Brandon T. Leppo & daughter-in -law Oksana Likhova; his daughter Lauren A. Leppo; his sister Donna K. Leppo; and his brother Robert L. Leppo. He was preceded in death by his parents Raymond W. and Esther E. (Shoemaker) Leppo and by his brother John P. Leppo. A life marked by dedication to family, work, community service, and personal passions leaves behind memories that will be treasured by those who knew him. May his memory bring comfort to all who mourn his passing.
