  • Born in the Montreal, Blass became an amateur boxing when he was a child. It was after a boxing fight that Blass committed one of his first known crimes, attacking a fellow boxer with a knife after losing a fight to him. Blass pleaded guilty to assault and spent one night in jail. As time went by, Blass became obsessed with the mafia activity going on in New York city and Montreal. He was also known for his hatred of mafia organizations, resenting the fact that the Italian mafia held a stronghold on Montreal's underworld business during the 1960s, Blass was involved in minor fights with many mafia members, particularly those related to Frank Cotroni and brothers Vincenzo and Joseph Di Maulo, all of which received death threats by Blass. He had also worked as hitman for the notorious Irish West End Gang. Blass and Robert Allard were to ambush Frank Cotroni on May 7, 1968. But the ambush attempt was interrupted by a policeman who saw them act suspiciously and proceeded to investigate them by following them in his patrol car. Cotroni's life was saved by the policeman who was not able to arrest Blass or Allard as they escaped.
