Above all, Jorge was a devoted husband, father, and family man. He will be remembered for his courage, perseverance, kindness, and unwavering love for those closest to him.
Jorge is survived by his loving wife, Maria; his daughters, Claudia and Susana; his son-in-law, Raul; his sisters, Patricia, Slavia, and Maria Luisa; and many cherished nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and grand-nephews. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
