I can't begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Jorge. Even though I had only known him less than 2 months, I felt like I have known him for years. He was funny, kind and a very caring man. He was always low-key and quiet. But, he always went out of his way to say "hi" to me. He always talked about his family, which he loved very much. I think he had a very funny sense of humor. I will miss him, as will many others at the senior center. God Bless You Jorge.

Jorge was a kind and generous neighbor. We'll miss hearing his music from his porch while doing yard work; we'll miss his gardening advice; and we'll miss his funny remarks. His family has our sympathy. Sincerely, Greg & Renae
