Jorge Humberto Escobedo
December 5, 1942 - October 17, 2015
Jorge Humberto Escobedo died on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at the age of 72. He was a dignified, honest and gentle man, always objective and positive, with never an unkind word about anyone. Jorge had a zest for life. He took great pride in being a "Knight of Columbus". He enjoyed travel, science, and the sea . . . taking 53 cruises before departing this world. The eldest of 10, he was like a second father to many of his younger siblings. He met his future wife, Frances, when he was in 5th grade in San Antonio. They started dating when they were seniors in high school and were finally engaged three years later, when Frances, tired of waiting, proposed. He stayed by her side for 50 years of love and traveling adventures. Jorge was preceded in death by his parents, Juvencio and Oralia Escobedo and his younger sister, Irasema. He is survived by his wife, Frances, his two children, Ginger and Steven, and five grandchildren, Jordan, Lauren, Chris, Alyssa, and Samantha, as well as five sisters and three brothers plus many nephews and nieces. |
