Jorge loved the time he spent working for the Associated General Contractors in Baton Rouge. He finished his career working in the commercial insurance business. In the middle of his retirement, Jorge was given the opportunity to return to work as a bailiff for the Honorable Anthony Marabella Jr. in the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge, which he was excited to do. Jorge spent many years on the tennis courts and golf course of the former Fairwood Country Club. He loved to play golf with some of his most cherished friends.
