Jorge Eduardo Morales Carrasquillo, 85, of Windermere, Florida, retired small business owner and Walt Disney World transportation cast member, passed away on Tuesday January 12, 2021 of complications following a stroke.

Jorge was born on August 22, 1935 to his parents Carmen Morales Hernandez and Eduardo Carrasquillo Vasquez in Comerio, Puerto Rico.

Jorge enjoyed doing yard work, swimming, spending time with his family especially during Disney family holiday celebrations, calling old friends, especially during each holiday, eating dessert, singing Happy Birthday to his family on their birthdays, keeping up with politics and watching his Yankees win.
