Before immigrating to Montreal in the late 1970’s, Javier was a police officer in Columbia and worked on his family’s coffee farm along side his brothers and sisters. A special thank-you is extended to the staff at Parkwood Hospital Palliative Care Unit for their compassion and care that they show every single day. Cremation has taken place.
