Claudio Gamboa Calderon (known as "Don Cuyo," January 24 1914 - September 19 1999) was one of the founders of CoopeAgri, the biggest cooperative in Costa Rica. He formed part of CoopeAgri's administrative council from 1962-1976. He was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. On September 16 1999, exactly 3 days before he died, Don Cuyo was interviewed by CoopeAgri's magazine. Unfortunately, by the time the article was published, Mr. Gamboa had already passed away in General Viejo, a small town in the South Pacific Region of Costa Rica.
