I remember seing his name on El Popular back in '87, He's always been involved with sports, benefiting the latino children community. He's responsible for making children and their parents feel welcome in a new country; back then it was hard to see latinos on the streets of Toronto, it's amazing how the community grew and kept together thanks to people such as Don Navia.
u know something guys I just saw him on sat the 21 when my son had a game and I was talking to him.. and then i heard he was dead i went to the wake yesterday and it was rammed he help out alot of kids in the hispanic comunities and he will be missed
Anybody that has kids and plays soccer would have know El Senor Navia He start La Copa Popular 26 yrs ago . He was the frist person to setup a soccer league for kids in our Latin community . He gave our kids something to do beside being out in the street . Thanks to him many kids had something to look forward to do on the weekend with there parents . R.I.P. Remberto Navia Un Senor en toda la Palabra !
Well said Ladyhawk i know a lot of friends that should give thanks to him for giving them a place to play on the weekend and stay out of trouble !!!!!

yes i was very sad to hear this! When i first got the news it was from confu but i didnt understand who she was talking about but then agian its confu!! El Gordo Navia as my dad called him was a very active man in the soccer community among latinos! A man very well known and very well respected by many ppl! Him and his family are in my prayers and we will be attending the viewing tonight Im just sorry to hear that hes passed on!
I know more foro member know who he was , Chale Tanga probably remembers him because of the reinados for the little girls !!! ( Little Queen )
And like i said before any grupo Folklorico or any orquesta .... Cochabamba (Dj prieto ) Orquesta Fantasia ....if they did any performance at Driffwood Community Center you must of talk to El Seņor Navia or one of his Daugthers!!!

R.I.P. El Seņor Humberto Navia... si no sabes quien fue ,bueno solamente preguntale a alguien que juega soccer y es menor de 20 aņos ..... Maybe you guys can ask Genie ....who was in charge of the Drifwood Community Center in the past with all the hispanic Events. Can i just say Copa El Popular and you think of him , he passed away this weekend and he will be missed........... Ask any grupo de Folklore ...Pichincha,Tunguragua,Cuscatlan or cualquier equipo de niņos ....y ellos mencionaran su nombre. Our prayers are with his family ...-- Edited by ZIPOTE at 01:22, 2006-01-25

Nunca he escuchado del seņor pero de tal manera. He seemed like someone very active in the latin community. God be with him and his family...
Apparently his viewing is until Wednesday night, and the funeral on Thursday. He was very active in the spanish community from like the early 80`s to early 90`s. I even heard from a friend here at work that there was some kind of special on him by Jojo Chinto yesterday on City TV. I missed it.
