South Florida radio fans will remember George “Jorge” Rodriguez, 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.
Can anyone tell me how Jorge died? I miss them both.
George is with Clem Tirephucker, Uncle Neil, and The Bird in Heaven!

I am saddened to hear of Jorge’s departure. I was one of Neil Roger’s regular callers, and harassed them both often. I was known as “The Singer” and mesmerized them with hits like…
*I’m constipated.
*I just pinched one.
*I woke up with gas this morning.
*I think I’ve got gas.
May they both +RIP+
Rest in peace. My thoughts go out to his family. Jorge will always be part of fond hilarious memories of my teenager and highschool years. A true treasure of miami. When covid issue subside ther should be a memorial for JORGE!! . WE wll remember you.
Well this really sucks! ‘George’ was an important cog in Neil’s Machine. We will miss him,badly!
Years ago George tried to encourage me to come out, the way Neil Rogers had courageously done years earlier. I wish I would have listened. Rest in peace my friend.

Jorge! Not George. And certainly not “Jorge”. He was only 55 years old. In 2009 he started sofloradio.com.
