FREIBERT, Paul Lawrence, 91, died Wednesday, September 2, 2015, in his home and surrounded by love following a brief illness.
“Pop” was born in the lower Highlands of Louisville, KY, the son of Mame and Leo Freibert. He spent 40 years in the elevator business after graduating from Ahrens Trade School, always taking great pride in his work. In 1947, he married his wife of 45 years, Estelle Mudd. Paul was an avid fisherman and enjoyed sharing his hobby with his friends. He was raised in the Catholic church and stayed devoted to his faith all his life. God was good to Paul in many ways, and he passed that grace on to everyone he met. He was a kind and generous gentleman and a fine example of the “Greatest Generation”.
Paul was preceded in death by his wife, Estelle, and his siblings Leo, Jim, Mary Jo, and Betty.
He leaves his son, Allyn (Pam); daughter Sara Sievert (Mark); and loving companion of 20 years, Patricia Schmitt. He also leaves his dearest brother, Edward, and sister Rosetta Lowry Duke; grandchildren Gregory Freibert (Kimba), Dana Freibert, Jessica Sievert, and Olivia Sievert; and great-grandchildren, Sabrina Freibert, and Megan Freibert, plus many adoring nieces and nephews.
