Gene "Binzo" Parinas
I know I'm late but I've been trying to contact Fred for years but I knew no body on Maui. I recall googling Fred years ago but found nothiing until now.
I am so sorry for your lost. I was stationed in Berlin (F Company 40th Armor)with Fred along with a bunch of Bruddas from Maui. In 1977 when I came to Maui on my way to Korea, Fred came down from Hana to see me and of course we went out drinking. That's all we did in Berlin was drink. Fred reminded me of a gentle bear with such a friendly smile. I don't recall him ever getting angry. Always cool, calm, and collective. I miss talking to him along with the rest of the guys from Maui.
I'm from Lanai. Gene "Binzo" Parinas and presently live in Lakewood, Washington (253) 282-1336.
God Bless you all
