Freppert, Joseph A. Loving Husband, Father, and Grand-father. Age 56, of St. Paul. Died on May 24, 2016. Joe was a lifelong resident of St. Paul and a graduate of Saint Bernard's High School in 1978. A self-taught guitar player, music became Joe's heart and soul. His creativity and ambitions didn't stop at music; just by simply reading a book he was able to build his own cabin. An accomplishment he was so proud of. Joe was a dedicated "optimistically challenged" Twins fan. Always wanting to make people laugh, Joe was constantly telling stories of his band years with many different groups, quoting funny movie lines, and telling stories of the years of his children growing up whom he was so proud of.
