Christl, it is with sadness that i received this message. Although we have drifted apart in the last years, i fondly remember Dieter's buoyant personality and the cheerfull way he used to greet and treat everybody.

I'll have the chef at Germania prepare a special rabada (which he always ordered in advance when coming to Rio) in his honour. Please receive my deepest condolences, extensive to Christine, her husband and the kids.

Had the pleasure of working together with Dieter Schambach during part of his professional life time spent im Brazil.
I would respectfully name him a charater with great leadership and a vast knowledge of shipping industry.I benefited extensively of his knowledge and great examples and manged to bit him only once on a beer tournement which was very nicely shared with all other attendees.
Gret man which certainly will be missed by his family and hundreds of friends that he was blessed during life time and now miss him a lot.
May God give him the rest he deserves and pray for his memory
