I was very sad to hear of Jeff's passing through the reunion letter. Jeff was a terrific guy and great sports enthusiast. He worked hard on the football team and was a key part of the 67-68 Gables national championship team. RIP Jeff.

So sorry to read about Jeff. It's been many years since I spent time with Ruth, Coleen and all Leslie. Thanking about you.

My deepest condolences to Jeff's family and friends. As a member of the 1968 National and Florida State HS football champions at Coral Gables HS I was lucky enough to have played defensive line with Jeff. I was also one of his close HS buddies. My fondest memories of Jeff are the rides we made to school on game days. Jeff always came by the Grove and picked up me and other teammates who didn't yet own cars.Those rides were always special because, playing the same position, we would go over the scouting report and remind ourselves of the special defenses installed for that night's game. He would drive us home, too. First, thru the side streets off Grand Ave in the dark of night dropping off teammates then dropping me off last at the edge of the Grove, technically in Miami High territory. He would then drive all the way back to his home many miles away. That's a true friend!! Although Jeff was not a starter nor did he see a lot of playing time he took part in each and every grueling practice, wind sprint, bull-in-the-ring drill and Bloody Saturday that Coach Kotys threw at us... and he never once quit, NOT ONCE, or gave less than his very best. That's the measure of one helluva tough football player-- and a real man!!Jeff had more school spirit in his little finger than most of us had in our whole being. Jeff,his dad, mom, cheerleader sister, Connie, bled Cavalier crimson & silver. A very nice family who helped us travel to those state championship games in Tampa & Jax in nice, non-yellow buses.... not many know that.I hadn't seen Jeff since high school ( I now regret that time lapse) when I hugged him at our 40th reunion. He cried when he saw me and we talked for hours thru the night. You just don't find great human beings like Jeff Werner these days. I will miss him dearly but the memories are eternal and those that lived with him and knew him were BLESSED by his great big heart and by the Good Lord!!

Jeff was a true friend to all those who played football at Coral Gables.  He was a big part of The Team of The Century, we couldn't have done it without him!
He always had a funny joke or a kind word for all.
I'm sure he's enjoying his reunion with all the coaches in heaven, they all appreciated his help at Gables.
We will remember you at the 50th reunion coming up soon.
Thanks for all you did.

Brian and Jamie, I have such wonderful memories of your mom and dad and all of the baseball games and practices that my sons, Joey and Kurk, attended.  Both Andrea and Jeff affected so many lives.  I am so grateful for the work they did with all of the boys.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Brian and Jamie - Our prayers and hearts go out to you and your families as we share in the sorrow of your father's passing. May you be comforted by the support and love from all that knew your Dad (and Mom) and rest in the knowledge they both touched many people who care for you and are there for you.

Jeff and I were ZBT brothers at U.M.  I was born in Cleveland and my parents were friends with Bob and Coleen. Jeff was a wonderful soul.

Jeff was an amazing man. All of us Coral Gables High School Class of 68 had so appreciated all the time and heart he & a few other dedicated Cavalier reunion participants put into those best FUN events ever! His love and dedication to family and friends, and his exemplary life made a real difference. My deep condolences to his family and all of us who loved Jeff.

My heart hurts for you all. Jeff will be very missed!  Love you so much!!  Karen & Ernie

Jeff,  You were a childhood friend with Craig until the day you died.  I was fortunate to know you since Coral Gables High School.  You were a very special friend to both of us.  And we were also lucky to be friends with Andrea because of you.  So happy we saw you a few weeks ago when we were in Miami.  I know how much we are going to miss you, so I can only imagine how much your family, and especially your precious grandsons, Colby and Logan, will miss you.  RIP, Jeff.  Much love, Barbara & Craig

He loved doing the stats and taking score and always gave advice to the girls.He adored his grandkids, his kids and his wife. He was wonderful and will be missed. RIP Mr.Werner, I will never forget you. xo

My deepest sympathies to all the family members. Jeff and I became good friends through his wife and the dogs. I will always cherish having known him. I will miss him.

My deepest condolences to Jamie, Bryan, Mike, Colby, Logan and the entire family. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We love you so much, Kim, Billy & the boys
