    School principal Farrell Munns taught 3 F's: Be fair, firm, friendly

    Farrell Munns left his Depression-era farm in Utah more than a half-century ago, but the farm ethic never left him.

    Two-thirds of Munns' residential lawn was a homemade garden -- an expanse of vegetables and fruit trees stretching from the sidewalk to the lake behind his home.

    "Growing up, we felt like we were farmworkers at times," said his son Rulon Munns.

    When Farrell Munns died at 86 on July 31 from pancreatic cancer, the acre surrounding his Windermere home had 27 types of fruit and nut trees, which he tended from his golf cart when his health began to decline.

    When his sons were teenagers, Munns sent them out to do yard work, and "they would come staggering in hours later because he didn't know how to quit," his daughter Edra Lynn Munns Chelius said.

    Munns, whose sons founded the law firm Bogin, Munns & Munns, worked in the Orange County school district for nearly 30 years.

    He was a principal at Gotha, Union Park and Lancaster elementary schools and Union Park Junior High School before he retired and worked as a real estate agent.

    Teachers and students who crossed his path decades earlier would all recall the same thing when they remembered him Saturday, Munns Chelius said.

    He told them all to embrace the three F's: to be fair, firm and friendly.

    Munns was also an animated storyteller with an archive to amuse and inspire whoever would listen.

    He told stories from the farm days when he received a polished orange and a scrap of homemade clothing for Christmas presents, tales of being aboard ships in the frosty Atlantic traveling to Iceland during World War II, and stories of living in a one-room mobile home without heat during college.

    Munns grew up as the third of 12 children on a self-sufficient farm in Garland, Utah. The family milked its own cows, slaughtered its own animals and made its own clothes, Rulon Munns said.

    Munns left his studies to become a teacher and enlisted in the Army during World War II. His service as a radar operator took him all over the country and eventually to Titusville in the late 1940s, where he commuted to Orlando every Sunday to attend the nearest Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

    There he met Bernice, his wife of 63 years, and he later presided as a minister.

    "He would always say that each year was better than the last," Munns Chelius said.

    He also is survived by son Ranier of St. Cloud; daughter Becky Waters of Winter Park; brothers Reed, Shelley and Austin Munns, all of Utah, and Orlin of California; sisters Charlotte Parkinson and Mary Gardner, both of Utah; 30 grandchildren; and 31 great-grandchildren.
