Another successful closing with the Van DeWater team!

Over the holidays we lost our dear friend, colleague and partner, Ronald C. Blass, Jr.. A true gentleman, mentor and ally, Ron will be deeply missed by all. Having joined the Van DeWater team in 1980, Ron was like family to us his thoughtfulness and wisdom steering the firm through a generation of change and building it into the successful practice it is today. It’s hard to express how grateful we are to have had the chance to work with Ron, and for his wry spirit, dedication and unwavering leadership all along the way. Thank you, Ron. We’ll miss you.

Van DeWater & Van DeWater wishes everyone a wonderful holiday season and 2019!
