Dear Christine,
I met Dieter the first time in Rio de Janeiro, in a ship company called Libra Navegação. Although I was from the accounting area of the company, and he from the commercial area we had a great relationship immediately. We had very similar business ideas, and a common passion for jazz music. Months later I saw Dieter again in the US when I went to Philadelphia to cancel a contract we had with the Gulf & Atlantic cargo company and to create a new company called Libra USA. I have traveled countless times to the US to accompany the creation of the new company, and also to extinguish a huge Accounts Receivable that has lagged behind the old Gulf company. I was able to receive most of the accounts and Dieter often helped me with this, considering he was from the commercial and knew the customers and the cases. When I was in Libara USA we had lunch almost every day. We were talking in his powerful German sports car, with a manual gearbox. "I hate automated cars," he said, smiling. When Dieter was not in the company, I had lunch with Tom Lloyd, another friend in common. One of those times I was in the US, I went to Dieter's house one weekend. There, I met Cristal his wife and we heard a record from my favorite jazz pianist Keith Jarret. I remember presenting him with the CD of a Brazilian jazz pianist, Eliane Elias. By looking in my old photo albums found two photos we took on this occasion.
Dieter always impressed me with his knowledge of the Portuguese language. He spoke perfect Portuguese. And he knew Rio de Janeiro, and Brazil in general, a lot. Sometimes in our conversations he would tell me restaurants I should visit! He knew more about my city than I did. Impressive. I'll keep good memories of my great friend Dieter. An educated, gentle man, sensitive to the problems of others and with countless stories to tell. I am 66 years old, and I was very sad that he left us. I'm sure one day, "the other side" will find him. Some friendships are eternal. In the meantime, I welcome your agile thinking, your business acumen, and your kindness. Rest in peace my friend.
Aristides Bichara
