My condolences to Werner's family, Christa and Dean, from your Gregg Lake neighbor, We will all miss Werner, he was a good man and great neighbor. All the best.
Greg Van Tighem

Christa and Dean,
Know that I and former board members of MacEwan feel your loss, feel your pain and feel the void left by Werner's  departure.
"The stories of our lives are written moment by moment-in how we loved, 
in day-to-day things we shared and in the many ways we've touched each others hearts" No one can take our memories away. 
Peter Kossowan -past chairman of MacEwan Board

Christa . . . it is with great sadness that I received the news today of Werner's passing.  I did enjoy so much his dogged determination to make things happen.  I also enjoyed meeting you through my association with Werner on the Grant MacEwan Board.  It was fun to be in your home (although some time ago now) and receive the warmth of your wonderful hospitality.  I am sure that both you and Dean are working through some very difficult times right now and I just wanted you to know that my deepest thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue on.  God Bless.  Vi Becker/Jerry Bouma

Christa and Dean

I am so sorry to read of Werner's passing. I remember him well from when he served on the Board of Governors. He was very instrumental in advocating on behalf of and planning for the development of the City Centre Campus. It was a great source of pride for him when the campus opened in 1993. I also remember his love of nature, the joy he got from riding his horses in the foothills and his commitment to his communities in Edmonton, Spruce Grove/Stony Plain, and Hinton. 

My deepest sympathies for your loss. 
Margo Baptista (Grant MacEwan University)

Dear Christa and Dean, 
So sorry for your loss of such a wonderful man, husband and father, and a dear friend.   I have such fond memories of Werner especially the trail ride we did at Ya Ha Tinda a few years ago.  He was so much fun, and I enjoyed his laughter and sense of humor.  He will be dearly missed by all.

My condolences to Werner's family.  I am saddened to learn of his passing at much too young an age.  I worked with Werner on numerous projects over several years and we shared many working lunches.  I admired his intellect, vision and sense of what is "the right thing to do".  He taught me so much and I won't forget him or that which I learned from him.

Thank you to Christa and all who cared so much for Werner. It made caring for him so much easier. Blessings to all and kind and caring thoughts,Barb-it was a privilege to care for Werner.
