He was a very warm and passionate person. It was a pleasure meeting him when I began my career at TCC.

Dr. Saenz was the most concerned president among the kind professionals you may came cross in academics. I had the pleasure to give service to TCC NW campus as an adjunct faculty under his leadership during late 1980s and early 1990s. It was a very impressive experience with Dr. Saenz professionalism, his human touch, broad vision, and a kind heart. He truly cared for all of us at TCC NW campus; the students, faculty, and staff.

God bless his soul.

Dr. Saenz....a very sweet and loving person. He made his 'mark' at TCC that will never be erased.

My condolences to the Saenz family. He was a great president and he did some great things for the Northwest Campus. May God bless the family.

A few years later, I became an employee of TCJC/TCC at NW Campus. I was at NW Campus until 2006 when he retired. I remember Dr....

I didn't know Dr. Saenz very well, but I took classes on the Northwest Campus in the late 1990s and early 2000s when TCC was still TCJC. I remember meeting Dr. Saenz in passing and at a luncheon when I received an award while I was a student.

In 2006 I began working on the Northwest Campus as a full-time staff member right after Dr. Saenz retired. I heard nothing but good things about Dr. Saenz and the legacy he started at TCC Northwest Campus.

I have said a prayer for his...
