Henry, my good friend from long ago. Thanks to your brother Salomon, I was able to gain another friend, you. Your friendship grew as we got older. We shared in our adult lives' tasks. Being there for me on several occasions will forever be appreciated. Thanks for always being so positive and being a light in my journey. Your electrical skills also helped me in my apartments an home. Your smile and conversations are still with me burning in my temple. I will see again my brother in Christ Jesus.
Saying you will be missed is an understatement, you are the biggest void I will never be able to fill. You were my best friend, an amazing father and role model, you gave me strength when I didn’t have it, the will power to want to succeed and do more. You were everything. I love you dad. I know your all around me because I feel it, in everything I see and touch. Every question I have I know you will lead me in the right direction. Forever giving me your guidance.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Let the light of God shine upon him!!!

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.
