As neighbors of Jorge and his family for the past few years we were very saddened to hear of his death. Our first meeting of Jorge was when he stopped by a neighborhood party to introduce himself shortly before moving in next door. We were immediately impressed by his friendly and outgoing personality. We will certainly miss him and, from what we know of him, we're sure that he will be equally missed in the community. Our sincerest sympathy goes to Lorena, Merari, young Jorge, and the rest of his family.
