Minoru M. "Mino" Freund

Dear Mino, You lived a full life and your life touched many others. You were and still are inspiring to many of us. You were a great scientist, artist and friend. You were courageous and dedicated to science and humanity; you even received an award for this along with Congresswoman Giffords.
You kept your spirit up when things would not look positive and give others hope while you were fighting with the Brain Cancer. What a remarkable man, what a courageous soul, what a lovely parents...

Dear Mino,

You have given me so much insight and inspiration to live a courageous and meaningful life. Thank you my friend. RIP.

dearest friend, wish to have met you before you left this world. beyond words of comfort, so saddened to know about this...
thank you so much for your compassionate heart, your pure intensions towards me and your brightest accomplishments even to the last hours of your battle. farewell...rest in peace, dear mino..

RIP Mino,
You were a true Renaissance man indeed, a wonderful friend and scientist. You will be always remembered and will live on through the inspirations you have brought to those around you and all the things you accomplished.
Missing you dearly,

I came across Mino's blog about a year ago. Although we never communicated I have been greatly moved and inspired by him. Bless you Mino and your parents.

Mino was a bright star that brought a marvelous light into this world. He's what many would aspire to be, yet like all stars, they blaze a trail, make an offering and chart a path back to the universe leaving us with stars in our eyes having known every now and then greatness visits this place. He will be sorely missed.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.
