Javier participated in our UPA Healing the Great Divide project almost from the beginning over 11 years ago. He was a stalwart member of our monthly dialogue group and brought wisdom, compassion, genuine human engagement, a delightful picaresque wit and a passionate commitment to understanding and helping his fellow man. We all count him as a friend and will miss him very much. Our condolences to you, Mrs. Saenz, and to the rest of your family.

Javier was a friend to me and my family for many years that we lived in SLC and a colleague of David's. He was always welcoming, loving and LOTS of fun to be with. An amazing man of many accomplishments ... he will be remembered lovingly. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and especially Josh and Linda, who we remember as young adults. THINKING OF YOU.

My Dear Carol I am so sorry to see you lose Javier. You both came into my life when I needed direction. I owe my success to you both. Javier was truly a motivator. I dearly loved his personality. I am saddened knowing his essence no longer exists in this world of mundane.

I met Dr. Saenz about 30 years ago. I was at a point in my life where I was confused and depressed. I spent several months visiting with him and I can say his wisdom and counsel helped turn my life around. Even today his pearls of wisdom are still relevant to me. I was saddened to learn of his passing. He will be missed.

My sympathy to all the family and friends of Javier. I have known his sister, Maria, since my stay in Panama for 5 years in the 70's. From knowing her, and reading about him, I would say he was a very loving, energetic and special person. I know he will be so missed.

El primer amigo incondicional que tuve cuando llegué por vez primera. El gran amigo de Jorge al que siempre lo apoyaste en sus campañas y en sus proyectos. Como olvidar las tertulias en tu casa, la rica comida, la camaraderiam tu sentido de humor que nunca perdiste, el cariño. Te extrañaremos amigo. Vaya con Dios. Hay coño, que tristes y solos nos quedamos los vivos!

I will truly miss Javier. Everything about him. His crazy laugh, sense of humor, his infectious smile, his little quirky sayings, his generosity, his intellectual conversations, and seeing him on his balcony greeting me and waving. Such a dear sweet man and a wonderful neighbor. Party on Jav! Love and miss you. Sharon
