Fred Hempel was a passionate man that gave everything he had to develop amazing tomatoes. I have known Fred for countless years, spending time at his farm in Sunol, and collaborating with him on many varieties. For me he will be remembered with the greats such as Luther Burbank and the others that worked so diligently to develop varieties that people would love. I pray his family and friends find peace in this tough season. Fred you will be missed my friend😢
