Jorge Rodriguez

South Florida radio fans awoke to the sad news that George "Jorge" Rodriguez has died. Rodriguez had served as the producer for WQAM-AM host Neil Rogers. Rodriguez passed away Friday morning, according to his daughter. Rodriguez had been keeping the memory of Rogers alive for years with a Neil Rogers Facebook page.

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?"
