data-epi-type="content"> <p>The International Fresh Produce Association issues the following statement as it joins the fresh produce community in mourning the passing of Al Vangelos, a past Chair in of United Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Association (an IFPA legacy organization).</p> <p>“Al was a consummate professional and volunteer leader who was widely respected among his peers for his insights and ability to identify opportunities and challenges before they were visible,” said retired United Fresh CEO and retired IFPA Co-CEO Tom Stenzel. “When I joined United right after he completed his chairmanship in 1992, Al reached out to bring me into his professional network and was a mentor to me and so many others throughout his long career.”</p> <p>Mr. Vangelos also served as United Fresh Produce Association’s Grower-Shipper Board Chair in 2008. In 2009, he was honored by The Packer with its Produce Man for All Seasons award.</p> <p>A memorial funeral and celebration will be held on Tuesday, September 17 at 11 a.m. at St. Edward the Confessor Catholic Church in Dana Point, California.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="press-slider"> <div class="container"> <div class="w-full"> <div class="section-header"> <h2>Additional
