I was able to have the pleasure of meeting this intriguing, intelligent, soft gentle man who was filled with almost fairy tale like stories from around the world, a beautiful garden and a love for shopping- thank you to his family for allowing me to be able to experience his wisdom kindness all family love with me- may he have peace and celebration of a eternal life with his beautiful wife
I found some pictures of Fred and Kinuyo-san from November 1, 2013.
This is from the time a Professional Japanese Soccer Player(Takuya Yamada, he was playing with Tampa Bay Rowdies back then and wanted to experience beekeeping) came over to your parents' property.
Thank you very much for such a wonderful memorial service yesterday. Though Fred is missed tremendously, all I remember is his happy smile.

For all the years we've known you Fred. truly - you are a great friend!
You're kind, generous, caring and empathetic.
You're always there for all of us at RFCI (Rare Fruit Council International) meetings, get-togethers, mango tasting, plant sales, lot of functions - even building the shed!
Many times, you made sure Jerry and I are at home, you would ride one of your motorcycles just to bring us sweet oranges, mangosteen, delicious cookies, candies from Japan, special plants, other times beautiful flowers!
Fred, you really are one of a kind, we sure will miss you very much!
Happy planting in heaven!
Jerry and Cora Coronel
