Besides his wife and daughter, Werner is survived by his brothers, David (Sara), Henry (Gerri) and sisters, Helen (Werner Warkentin), Margaret (John Blatz), Mary (Ernie Falk) and many nephews and nieces.

He was a teacher by profession and loved his work. He taught mainly in the Winnipeg School Division #1, where he made many friends among his fellow teachers. Werner was baptized upon the confession of his faith in 1970 and was a member of the German Choir as well as the Mens Octet. He was also briefly a member of the Faith and Life Male Choir until illness prevented him from using his beautiful tenor voice. Werner was a loving husband, father and friend. He loved gardening, sports of all kinds, reading and music. A special hobby was carpentry; ten years ago he was able to fulfil a dream of his when he designed and helped construct the family home. He spent many happy hours gardening and landscaping there.
