Jorge E. Galindo

Jorge Enrique Galindo, age 95, of Tecumseh, Mich., gained his heavenly wings on Jan. 27, 2026, at home, surrounded by family and in the loving care of Hospice of Lenawee. Jorge was born May 14, 1930, in Ramiriquí, Colombia, to Francisco A. Galindo and Pacífica (Guerrero) Galindo.

He traveled to the United States as a young man to attend Eastern Michigan University, where he met Lois K. Kiser, with whom he shared 24 years of marriage and raised six children. Jorge was proud to become a United States citizen in 1976. A lifelong man of science and curiosity, he built a successful 35-year career as a chemist at Wacker Chemical before retiring.
