Fue el fundador de Dos Gringos, Francis Biddle International (FBI Flowers) y Tradewinds Intl. Como pilar de la comunidad de CalFlowers, Frank se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 como expresidente y miembro de la junta directiva durante muchos a\u00f1os. Su esp\u00edritu empresarial, liderazgo innovador y dedicaci\u00f3n incansable dejaron una huella perdurable no solo en CalFlowers, sino en toda la industria floral. Falleci\u00f3 pac\u00edficamente el 27 de junio de 2025, a la edad de 60 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrank fue fundamental en promover la creaci\u00f3n de la beca mientras estuvo en la Junta Directiva de CalFlowers. \u00c9l cre\u00eda en apoyar a AFE y empoderar a la pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n. Cambiar el nombre del fondo honra su legado y contin\u00faa su impacto en nuestra industria\u201d, dijo Lane DeVries, director ejecutivo de CalFlowers. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Frank fue un empresario audaz y visionario cuya influencia ayud\u00f3 a transformar el comercio floral en las Am\u00e9ricas.

Ese impacto a\u00fan se siente hoy en todo el sector floral. Puede leer m\u00e1s sobre la vida y el legado de Frank a trav\u00e9s del Homenaje en memoria de Frank Biddle<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
