US fresh produce giant Chiquita Brands International has released a statement on the passing of former chairman Carl Lindner Jr, who died on Monday at the age of 92.
Current chairman, president and CEO Fernando Aguirre described Lindner as a 'great leader, innovator, entrepreneur and philanthropist'.
'He measured success by improving the lives and opportunities of others,' noted Aguirre. 'We were all honoured to learn from his example of community involvement with heartfelt generosity and little care for recognition.
'His legacy exemplifies the American Dream of what an individual can achieve and contribute to their community through a lifetime of innovation,' he added. 'Our community has lost a great leader but his example endures. We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Edyth, and all their family and thank them for sharing him with us.'
