Ernest Henry TEPPO

Age 78 Ernie passed December 11, 2021, from Alzheimer's Disease. Ernie was born February 22, 1943, to Henry Ernest Teppo and Anne Marie Teppo (Antolik) in Minneapolis. Ernie lived his entire life in Minnesota. He worked 33½ years for MNDOT and had many friends there. Ernie loved sprint car races, baseball, and animals. He is survived by his wife of 31½ years, Sharon; in-laws; and cousins. He loved being "Uncle Nernie" to his two nieces, three nephews, and three grand nephews. It is the nature of dementia that family and friends may have been alienated these past years. We ask that we gather to celebrate Ernie's life at the Cremation Society of Minnesota, 1979 Old Hudson Road, St. Paul, on Saturday, June 25, from 2-5 p.m. Some of Ernie's favorite foods will be served. Please wear Ernie's favorite color, red, or Minnesota Twins gear.
