Retiring in 1989 after thirty years of teaching school at Sebastopol, Hickory and Beulah Hubbard, Mr. Blass started traveling across the United States with his son, Dr. Danny Lanier, to spread the gospel of God`s word. He drove Dr. Dan over a half million miles in the twenty years of traveling with him to spread the gospel.

His hobbies were cutting his grass and cooking. Dr. Dan says, many people did not know but he was an excellent cook. He made the best biscuits.

Mr. Blass was a faithful member of Northcrest Baptist Church. He will be remembered as a man that walked close to God and exemplified the fruits of Jesus in his kindness, compassion, graciousness and love toward others. He truly had a servant's heart.
