I was just talking to my teenager about one of the many stories I've had in working for Peter five years, and later the talks I had with him.  I don't know what made me look for him, and realize this just now.

The success I have had thus far in life, and those whom I have had the pleasure to help succeed, was a result of the years I worked for him.  Sometimes I listened with ears wide open, other times I'd go kicking and screaming.  But I was glad to tell him this in my last visit last year, and how fortunate I was for him to have crossed my path.

The best advice I got from him was simple..."if you cannot communicate what you understand to where I can understand it, then you don't understand".   Brilliant

I'm better, and I have made others better because of you, sir.  Rest well, APK.

My dad, Peter Kessler, was a unique individual who lived every day of his life fully and with full appreciation of how wonderful life is.  He  escaped Germany just before World War II and  emigrated  to Uruguay as a boy.  He met my mother, Celia Kessler, while studying for his Master  in England. He lived in Brazil for many years before being transferred to the United States in 1971.  He spoke five languages, English being the last he learned, but the one he used for the rest of his life.  His is survived by his wife, Celia, his daughter Alice (Richard), his son Jeremy (Lori), and five grandchildren : Trevor, Sarah, Lucy, Katelyn and Ian.  His favorite toast was “ salud, dinero, y amor. Y tiempo para disfrutarlo “. Translated - “ health, money and love. And time to enjoy it”.  I happy to say he got his wish.
