.Blas will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 40 years, Maria Linda Rodriguez, and his children: Marsha (Jesus) Rodriguez, Blas Jr. (April) Rodriguez, Viviana (Robert) Blas, and Vanessa (Jaime). He was a proud grandfather to 17 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, and he leaves behind numerous other cherished family members and friends.
