South Florida radio fans will remember George “Jorge” Rodriguez, the producer for WQAM-AM host Neil Rogers. Jorge passed away Friday morning, according to his daughter. Jorge Rodriguez had been keeping the memory of Rogers alive for years with this network replaying their old shows together. We lost not just Jorge but Suds recently, Eric, Neil and now Jorge.
We have put together a couple of things in honor of Jorge below is a video in honor of our mentor, a father, husband and good friend to a lot of people.
Like Neil, Eric, Suds before him we will miss you Jorge... We won't forget the good times we all had from the early days on the show in the 90's to all the way til the end.
Here is the post from Jorge's daughter, Sabrina:
"This is Jorge's eldest daughter You won't find it on the news yet, Neil & Jorge fans get it first My father passed away suddenly Friday morning. He was born in Cuba but America was his home- from FL, NC to MT. This would have been his first July 4th as a citizen. He frequented concerts, skated 3 to 4 times a week, and did more than I as his daughter could keep up with. Every Take-Your-Daughter-To-Work Day he'd let me work the board with him and allow me to press those famous *fart* buttons he and Neil would use. He was unstoppable till the very end. There's so much more that could be said for years about a great man like him. What are your favorite memories of Jorge?"
