*ANDRE VICTOR KESTELOOT 3/13/1937 - 1/4/2015*

André grew up during the war in Belgium, got an Electrical Engineering
degree there, and spent a decade in the Middle East with his wife, moving
from country to country as Chief Engineer, installing TV and radio
transmitters. In 1969, a friend who was working for the CIA talked him into
joining the outfit. He spent 25 years as an officer of the CIA, first as an
operative in different countries and later performing various jobs in
Virginia, including being in charge of Soviet defectors. After retiring he
taught negotiating tactics to Iraq-bound Special Forces units, something he
was very proud of.

He was a man of many interests and talents. Jazzman, he would play the
drums for night clubs and concerts. He was a Ham Radio operator, building
all kinds of useful gadgets and exchanging ideas with his AMRAD buddies
every Saturday, over lunch. He was happy to be a Freemason for the last 40
years, first in France then here. But his main passion during these last
years was Theology. He was a member of Vienna Presbyterian Church and was
occasionally invited to give sermons in French at the French Protestant
Church.

He was loved by all for his sense of humor, intelligence, and great
humanity.

He will be greatly missed by his wife of 54 years, Eliane, their two sons
Lawrence and Giles, their respective wives Jennifer and Tara, and their
respective children Milo and Kalee.
