Werner passed on at the Facility early Friday evening. He was a WW2 vet, but what made him unique was he was a German soldier. It was always fun to hear him talk with the other American WW2 vets. They enjoyed each other's company immensely. His wife and him were childhood sweethearts in Dusseldorf before the war. He promised to come back and marry her after he got out of the army. They picked out a beautiful old stone church for the ceremony they had both attended as children. He fought, and as he said, " was chased all over Europe, from France to Berlin. " Werner was eventually captured and placed in an American POW camp. He and 4 others escaped, and he made his way 300 miles back home to Dusseldorf, hiding out in the woods and traveling at night, to find his true love. The city was bombed out, her house obliterated. He eventually found her in a refugee camp a month later, a little bruised and bloody, but still alive. They got married in the rubble of the church the day the war ended in Europe. After over 65 years of marriage, Werner died Friday night after a long seige with cancer. His wife lay down beside him and he passed holding her in his arms. Good show, Werner
