Adjournment for Frederic B. Tamayo, Owner of King Crab Restaurant To be read by Mayor Gillmor:
• Frederic B. Tamayo passed away peacefully on October 20, 2025. • At the age of sixteen, he moved to Maui, Hawaii, where his lifelong values of faith, family, and hard work first took root.
• He graduated from Maui High School and later served in the United States Army Reserve, proud to give back to the country that gave his family a home. • After the military, Fred settled in San Francisco working at Hewlett-Packard where he was employed from 1972 until his retirement in 2000.
• In 1967, he married Caridad Romin Mejia, his loving wife of almost fifty years.
Together, Fred and Carrie built their family home in the northern part of Santa Clara. • In the early 1980s, Fred and Carrie owned and operated King Crab restaurant in Santa Clara - a reflection of his work ethic and belief that providing for family was a labor of love.
• Frederic's legacy of dedication and community service will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
