I first met Werner while I was tending bar at jimbo's club @ Point O Pines Girls Camp. Took an instant likeing to him as he was a real gentleman and very sincere man. He would arrive in may or early June before camp started and we would always spend time talking. He one day asked me if I was in the service and told him I was . I had gottendrafted in august of "63" and inducted on Sept.5th. Which as I recall was the same day Werner was inducted our serial numbers were one or two numbers apart My Sr. # was US51497675 and I think his ended w/76. Coincidence?Who would have thought.My wife worked at the camp one summer and she got to know Werner they would sneak down to a open air storage unit and have a coffee and smoke break.My wife and I moved to Hudson Fla. in 2012 and spoke to Werner a few times and gave him our address and 2014 he called and spent some time with My wide Penny and myselfwe got to have a couple of beers together. A memorable man.Nicholas J. de Gregory

We are very sorry about the loss. Werner started his baker career in my fatherâ??s bakery in BischofsgrÃ¼n before he decided to explore the world. We remember our stay in Florida 2011 very well, where Werner showed us with excitement the beauty of the environment around Fort Meyerâ??s. The picture, shows him on an airboat somewhere in the Everglades. He always managed to make us laugh and brighten up our day. We will never forget you.Rest in Peace my friend.Ralf, Doris, Milena and David Scherm

Wernerli, I still have no idea how you kept going for so many years, not slowing down, not in your craft of baking or in your world wide travels! An idol for many of the youngsters that could not keep up with you! I slept well for many years, knowing that you are there in our pastry kitchen! Not missing the beat, and Kurt only said you are in "the schwei..e" because he enjoyed working beside you more than being lonesome on his table! My daily routine- visit you in the morning, getting a fresh baked croissant with my coffee and talking … Fussball, Formel l, Biathlon, or any news in general! Stories of your travels, talking about places we both knew well on this or the other side of the Atlantic! Thank you for your years of service, thank you for your Friensdhip , and for setting an example for all of us on this industry! You are missed- Rest in Peace- Andreas

Oh man, this is sad news.Yes, condolences to his family.And to everyone who feels his loss.The world will be a little less sweet, without Werner in it. Especially, creations of delectable treats.For some years Cornell U. had him until he migrated to St. John where he brought warm fresh pastries to a whole new level.Werner decided he'd like to live on a sailboat. I remember the day, he asked if I could give him a ride to his new home where he stepped aboard HIS boat.I believe it was a wooden boat? Classic sloop. But do not remember her name, was moored in Great Cruz Bay, Anyone?I may possibly have an old photo I'll try and find. He, like a lot of us; loved being on the water.R.I.P. Werner (you were one of the great ones and an inspiration to many)

I worked and lived with Werner at Cornell university in the 80's. He was a great person and friend. Werner was very instrumental in the steps leading up to my marriage. My wife would invite Werner out for a drink and hope that he would bring me along. Needless to say the deception worked and Odell Cooper became my wife. I often thanked him for that and we had a good laugh about it. He was awesome as a friend and a dedicated professional. Our prayers and love to the family.

I first met Werner in the end of May 1995 and a new friend ship was born to a very kind and gentle man. A man who thru his honesty earned peoples respect and trust. We had many conversations together and discovered we both were inducted on the same day in 1963 and I asked him what his service number was and we had the identical service number except for the last two but we were very close it is a possibility we were both inducted at the same induction point, Newark, N.J.The many nights when we closed s Jimbo's Club we would chat and I never heard a harsh word or a harsh remark about any one. He talked a lot about his children and his son-in law. When he would end his comment he would get this great smile on his face and a little tilt to his head and you knew he was as proud as any one could be of their accomplishments as the man deserved.I worked at Jimbo's club for 13 years Tending Bar years and always looked forward to when Werner would get there and it was always a joy. He got to knew my two sons and Penny my wife as the boys would help out when we needed them and my wife worked one camp season at Point OPines Girls camp.My youngest son was home last weekend and had asked about him and we got to chatting for a while of the experience we all had. Werner falls in to that category of the few people you meet in your road os life that were the nice people you met who are unforgettable.With my deepest sympathy & sadnessNick deGregory & Family
