Obituary
March 16, 1960 in the south pacific Island of Tonga. In 1979, he moved to American Samoa, where he fell in love with a beautiful Samoan girl, who eventually became his wife of 41 years. In 1983, he, his wife, and daughter moved to Maui, Hawaii and had three sons; they later moved to Oahu in 1989. In 1996, he and his wife decided to move to the Mainland for a better opportunity for their children. They migrated to Jackson, Michigan in 1996, then to South Bend, Indiana in 1999 and then to Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2017. Pino was very strong in his Catholic faith. He loved every single one of his family members, unconditionally. Everything he did, came from his heart and never for anything in return. He loved to sing and play his guitar, whether it was in church or during his Kava sessions with his family and friends. He was a member of Knights of Columbus in Mishawaka, Indiana thru Queen of Peace. Pino battled his sickness for 4 long years. Despite being in and out of the hospital, he always had his sense of humor. Throughout his entire journey, he always managed to crack jokes and make everyone around him laugh and smile. We will most definitely miss his angelic voice, his hearty laugh and his sense of humor.
Leopino is survived by his wife Galuafi Angianga; daughter, Malia (Nicholas) Angianga- Baker; sons, Siua (Martha) Angianga, Gary (Jennifer) Angianga and Faavae Angianga; His 16 grandchildren include Brayden Angianga, Ariana Baker, Aloisio Angianga, Nick Jr Baker, Malachai Angianga, Halavunga Angianga, Ikaika Angianga, Pale Angianga, Noelani, Baker, Gary Jr Angianga, Bella-Rose Angianga, Noah Baker, Leopino Angianga, Meilani Angianga, Kaylani Angianga, and Isaac Baker.

I love you Uncle!! I miss you and still can’t believe you’re not here. We always think we got all the time in the world till it’s taken from us. 26 years of attempts to try and come see you and this was what actually made it happen; I’m sorry. I do want you to know though, even after 26 years, it still felt like yesterday with you. I continue to hold on to your words and you will forever be an encouragement for me! Please tell my Dad I love him and I miss him like mental ahahaa Goes without sayin cause I know you see everything, but look over the family ok Uncle, I know they are all going through it, some more than others. I love you and God bless!!
Uncle I’m so honoured and grateful that me and my husband were able to meet you and your family in person.
We will always cherish the love and hospitality that you and your family gave us during our time in the States.
Your daughter, Malia, told me how excited you were to meet me and how you kept asking her for reassurance that I was coming to see you all before my arrival lol. I was just as excited to meet you and your family.
I will always cherish the childhood stories you shared with me during our time together, the warmth of your hugs, and our telephone conversations.
I miss and love you so much uncle. May you rest in love and peace. You will live forever in our hearts and memories ♥️
We Love you Dad! ALWAYS AND FOREVER
I love you Uncle, I love you so much 😘 Sorry it took me a minute to get here, but it’s still all so surreal. You were just here, I just seen you 🙏🏽 I got to hug you and kiss you and love on you and for a minute, feel like I had a piece of my Dad given back to me 🙏🏽 You told me that even though my Dad was gone, I still got 1 left 😭💔😘🙏🏽 I cannot even tell you how much you comforted me when I needed it most 🙏🏽 I LOVE YOU, THANK YOU!! I will hold on to your words for the rest of my life. I’ve always admired your life talks, they were nothin but love. I real life could sit here and write an entire novel about you. Before my Dad’s service it’s been 26 years since I last seen you, but it was like yesterday being in your presence ☺️ As hard as this all is to swallow, I do find comfort knowing you get to see my Dad 🥹 I know it goes without sayin, but you know how deep the pride runs, please continue to be that guiding light for the entire family. You are forever loved Uncle and for all eternity will be 🥰 I love you, please tell my Dad I love and miss him and I’m excited for the day I get to see you both 🙏🏽
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge will award to me on that day and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

It’s really hard to know that you’re no longer here, physically 💔😭. First my dad and now you💔😭. I can’t bare losing another. The grieving is something that will take a while to heal. You really mean so much to us after dad. I remember at my dad’s service when I hugged you. Do you remember that? I whispered in your ear and said, “you’re suck with us now.” 😭😭 Then you said, “I’ll be here and you love us.”❤️❤️ I hear you in my head and heart with those loving and comforting words, over and over. I know you’ve been fighting this illness for a while and your body couldn’t take it no more BUT your spirit will live forever in all that you’ve touched, especially your own family. I don’t know how to let go! I have so many unanswered questions but I know that God has you and you’re with my dad. You go and enjoy your pain free life now and fly high like no other. 🕊️🕊️ please always remember that you’ve always been loved until we meet again. God bless you and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH❤️🙏.
