In Memoriam: Ronald Blass, Jr.
A true gentleman, mentor and ally, Ron Blass will be deeply missed by our family at Van DeWater & Van DeWater. Having joined the firm in 1980, his thoughtfulness and wisdom helped steer us through a generation of change—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.
