Mark Munger sent a note letting us know that Fred L. Williamson of Andrew Williamson Fresh Produce passed away at the age of 70. As Mark’s letter noted: “…he was definitely a visionary and a leader in the California and Mexico tomato industries. He has a great legacy in his son Freddie, but he will be greatly missed!” You can read the company’s statement here.
