My condolences to you my cousins. It was always a blessing to see Tio Blas come to Arizona and visit us in Casa Grande. I always remember the visits even as a child growing up with him and Tia Na-te', and it has been a blessing that my own kids were able to meet him also. He was definitely an inspiration to us all. Thank you for taking the time to bring him to us for visits. I always remember him being kind, and always very well dressed and immacluate, and how he could make us all laugh. I was very saddened when I heard the news of his passing, but know he's in a better place and now with my Tia Na-te'. God Bless you to all his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchilren. He will be dearly missed.

From our family to yours, all of you are in our prayers to give you strength through these hard times.He was a very Amazing person,we love him and will miss him also. His niece Gloria and Jesus Hurtado

Love you great grandpa, miss you already. Tough to have a birthday te day after yours. This birthday is going to be hard because you're not her to see me graduate. I love you grandpa and I remember all the times we went fishing, to the cabin or just to your house! RIP grandpa we love and miss you but you are in a better place now. Love you always.

To Blas Jr. and Heather.
I will never forget the years you took the time to bring your dad back to Casa Grande to visit us. I will never forget the memories and stories he told us of his days in Arizona, I was so amazed how sharp his mind was to have remembered the names of those places and farmers that he worked for here in Casa Grande.
A very special thank you for taking good care of my dear uncle Blas. Heather, my deepest sympathy to you, May God give you strength today and always.
Sincerely, Martha Aguirre

To the children of Natalia and Blas Franco.
To my cousins, my condolences to each and every one of you: My aunt Natalia was so very blessed to have been married to such a wonderful man. I wish I could be there to hug and give you some comfort from the loss of your father. May God give you strength the coming days as you honor your father one last time on earth. You can find comfort in knowing that your dad and mom are now celebrating together once again. Even though I won't be with you in the physical phase the day of the services, yet, I will be thinking of all of you and prayers will be with you on those two days. Sincerely, your cousin from Casa Grande, Arizona, Martha Aguirre

You were the sweetest and kindest grandfather to me. Never once in my life did I ever see you angry. Thank you for all the wonderful memories I have of you. I am so grateful that my daughters had so many wonderful years with you as well and that they will be able to one day share them with their children. I will miss sitting in your back yard during the spring and summer months among your beautiful garden of flowers and vegetables with all the family. I love you and will miss you deeply.

Brother may you R.I.P. No matter how far away we were from each other you were always in my heart.

Blas was loved and cherished by all who knew him, myself included. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Gillon Family,

Know that I am continuing to keep all of you in my prayers and love.
What a gift to have new birth in Eternal Life on the Feast of Christmas.

Your father, father-in-law, grandfather, will be missed, but love is stronger and will carry you through these times of loss.

What a gift he shared in sharing his life with so many. He was a happy gift!
I will remember your dad, Josie, for his welcoming smile. God welcomes him to His Presence with an even bigger smile and embrace!

You, and the extended family did all in carrying for him and loving him. Blessings of peace to all.

Love, Sr. Roberta Carson

Josie and family,
Through your shared stories of your father, we learned that he was quite an interesting and inspirational man! We hope these loving memories provide all of you solace in this time of sadness. We are keeping you in our prayers~

We knew Blas from exercise class at the Senior Center in Brentwood. He was our hero, our role model and a true manifistation of courage. He always had a smile and always participated to the max. I will never forget the last day of exercise he kissed me on the cheek and wished me Feliz Navidad.
Adios, il padrino! Rest in peace, you earned it. Love and admiration Barbara & Pat (the general)

Josie, Jim & Eric,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

This man was truly a trailblazer for humanity with his friendship, kindness, words of wisdom and guidance. We fortunate few that were lucky enough to have shared some time with him will always have a special place in our hearts for his captivating recollections of his very full life. We will miss him even more now that we know that there will never be another opportunity to enjoy his companionship and talks. May God bless all his family and welcome Blas into heaven.
