Many of Panama's top political figures visited his residence to pay their condolences to ex president Endara's immediate family and wife Ana Mae Diaz de Endara.

Also visiting the residence of the ex president were ex president Martin Torrijos, PRD party leader and ex candidate against Guillermo Endara, Balbina Herrera and Vice President Juan Carlos Varela as well as Ministry of Finance Alberto Vallarino among other political figures.
Tomorrow the funeral will be held in Casco Viejo at 10:00 a.m. at the Catedral Sept 30, 2009.
