As an architect, I had over the years, the opportunity and privilege to work with Jorge on a variety of important and prestigious jobs throughout the Province of Ontario. He always impressed me as an honest and responsible professional that did his best of any work he undertook. I think pride in work was a major part of his make up. It was very sad for me to hear of his passing. I can only hope his exemplary behaviour as a father, husband, and professional will remain as a reminder of the wonderful man he was and give his family some strength during this time of sorrow.

Mario Herce

As I stood yesterday accepting condolences, I repeatedly heard the same comment: "Jorge was a great guy". He had a positive impact on so many lives and helped so many people yet so few helped him. He was truly a self made successful business man. He was my boss for many years and my brother for life. Thank you for helping me be who I am. You always told me that nobody is irreplaceable. You are...
