Deepest condolences to the Rocha family. Mr Rocha was a good man, an amazing father figure and the epitome of a family man.
Rest in peace Henry. I will never forget all the good times we had back in the 70's. We went to Ryan, Lamar and Nixon. We were both in band while attending Ryan. The years passed. We grew up. But we always ran into each other at the Whataburger on Guadalupe. When I had my 68 Malibu we would cruise the streets of Laredo listening to Boston, Legs Diamond, Steve Miller, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, ZZ Top, Heart and other such Rock & Roll bands. We had so much fun. We were in our late teens. Life was cruising, drinking some beer, listening to music, laughing without a care in the world. You will me be missed my friend. Rest in peace. Carlos Blanco Jr.

My condolences to his family. He would always greet us in the halls at the Martinez Fine Arts Center when we'd report need for help. Always sweet and explained reasons for delays if there was any. He was always appreciated by our department.
Hermano...you were always there when I needed help and we will never understand why our Lord takes the best people in our lives...your smile and laughter will be with me until it's my time but know this, you will always be with me in spirit. Rest now my brother for the Lord has opened his doors in Heaven for you. You and Carlos are now together for eternity. I won't say good-bye but see you later...May God bless your family carnal...hermanos forever...Dimitri
