It was with great sadness and disbelief that we found out, on Thursday 2 February 2017, that our friend and partner Bauke van der Meer had passed away following a fatal accident in Barcelona. Bauke was 47 years old.Bauke was the director and owner of BVDM Tax & Legal Services and C-Corp in Amsterdam and Moscow and co-founder of DeafSkills International Association. He was absolutely unique person and we will always miss him.We say farewell to an extremely remarkable personality and our thoughts are with his wife, their three children and the family.
