Dear Barbarita, and dear cousins Raul and Sonia:

My heart is truly broken for the loss of Uncle Julian. He was such a good, caring, and loving man — someone who made everyone feel welcome and valued. I will always remember his warm smile, his kind words, and the way he brought joy to every gathering. 

I always remember him with lots of gratitude because he was such a blessing in my life in challenging times. His advice and care helped me so much. 

Please know that you are not alone in this pain. Sadly,  I'm not able to be in person with you right now, But I'm holding you all in my heart and prayers. Uncle Julian’s love will live on in all of us, and his memory will forever be a blessing.

With all my love,
Jaime Eduardo & Gaby Polit

To Barbara, Raul & Sonia:                                                 With Sympathy to all of you.

With love:                                                                          Jorge Teran & Myriam Teran.                                          08-09-2025

From my visits to Charleston W. VA  while a student at UVA in Charlottesville, to the subsequent trips to Houston, those trips mostly by car, were always rewarded by my uncle and Barbara's warm hospitality, feeling a bit like being at home. 
His keen interest and care for this and any other relative was always  there, in presence and in endless memories, sharing events and feelings involving his own generation and those of the many that followed.  My uncle Julian had a knack for bringing a tangible sense of visiting our native Ecuador and its people without leaving Houston.

A distinguished Ecuadorian, he felt proud to be a Manaba originally from Chone. In his own words, he expressed that “La Patria” is like a mother – there’s only one. A great conversationalist, he loved tennis, which he played until the age of 85. I know you have gone into the beyond, but you will always live in our hearts and memories

One of the last meetings with “The Cafecito Friends”. Where he would always express his views on politics, economics, and society both in the United States and Ecuador.  He would always delight us with his anecdotes from his travels around the world.

Our sincere condolences to Barbara and family Very lucked to had met him and enjoyed his company in several occasions He is in a better World now Resting in peace The Miqueloto family

What a light what a soul what an amazing person. I am so grateful to have memories to reflect on. Incredibly grateful that my sister fell in love with her husband, the son of Julian, Raul. All our love, Julie and Sherri.

Julian was one of those rare souls who lit up every room he walked into. He was always such a joy to be around, such a great conversationalist, and had an absolutely wicked sense of humor. We will miss him dearly. We pray that the Lord will keep and comfort you with the memories of knowing that you were blessed with such a great man. The world is definitely a worse place without him. Love to you all. 

Marty, Terri and Daniel

We have lost a great man!!

I’ve known Julian for decades. 

It was impressive to see his physical and intellectual prowess remain across the ages. 
His jovial sense of humor and insightful perspectives on all aspects of life made our Ecuadorian diaspora gathering worth the four hour round trip drive from Weimar, Texas. 

He had an encyclopedic mind much better than ChatGPT 😊. 

He was proud of his European heritage, immigrants who came to the New World to learn, work hard, and master their destiny for themselves and their descendants. 

Nevertheless, Julian, in his heart and soul identified with those who had been there before the European invasion of this continent. 

He made sure to be well read regarding the history of the Reyno de Quito, la colonia and the era “republicana” of what is called Ecuador. 

It has been one of the highest honors of my life to have met a man like Julian Polit.   Descansa mi amigo y que disfrutes una eterna felicidad. 

MINCHA KAMA (Hasta pronto)

What a wonderful man he was! I stayed with Barb and Julian while I was in nursing school on the weekends. The doors were always open for his family. We had went many many times when we laughed and had fun. I will always remember what a sweet Spirit he was. I'm sorry for your loss my dear cousin prayers and hugs to you always
