Jorge Alberto Lopez-Roman
LOWELL Jorge Alberto Lopez-Roman, of Lowell passed away peacefully
at his home on Wednesday, July 25, 2018 with his family by his side.
Jorge was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico on June 3, 1958 and was the son
of Jorge Lopez Rivera and the late Vidalina Roman Jorge, both of
Ponce, Puerto Rico. He was raised in Ponce where he attended area
schools graduating in 1978 from The Vocational School of Ponce.
For many years, Jorge was the dedicated caretaker of his parents; that
was his life’s work. He was also employed as a security guard in both
Puerto Rico and in the Greater Lowell area for many years before
illness forced his early retirement.
In his younger days, Jorge studied architecture. He was very proud of
the letters he received from the University of Puerto Rico School of
Architecture. He always enjoyed playing chess and kept a certificate
he received in middle school. He had a passion for writing, especially
poetry, listening to Jazz music, and was a fan of Ruben Blades. He was
well versed in philosophy and enjoyed reading from authors like Max
Lucado. Although he had many passions throughout his life, spending
time with his family was the most important to him, especially being a
part of his extended family.
In addition to his father, Jorge Lopez Rivera, he is survived by his
two sisters, Maria Lopez and Juanita Lopez, cousins, nieces, and
nephew.
