Fred Braun Jr.

Fred, I miss you. It is so hard to adjust my life without your presence. I will always carry in my mind memories of the happy times we had together. Love, Hisashi

Although we met Fred just a few times, we were impressed by his wit and uncanny sense of humor. Over the years, we came to know him well through our good friend, Hisashi Numata and would often get updates and exchange greetings with each other. And many times, share a laugh to two. We will miss this relationship and wish to express our sympathy to those closest to him.

It was my great privilege to become acquainted with Fred in the last few years through his sister, Lillian, who was our dear friend and neighbor. I will always remember his caring spirit, contagious sense of humor and be forever grateful for introducing us to Filoli (a historical mansion and gardens in Woodside), which has brought us many hours of joy.
May the God of all comfort surround each one who is grieving and may his life inspire us to encourage those in need.
