Wernie was a very good friend to me always providing a listening ear for as long as I needed. I had learnt of his passing after the fact and it was quite a shock to me. Wernie loved people and was known to stop by, (before he was stricken with MS) pull up a chair outside that he would have brought, pull out his wompa and Yerba with a smile on his face and start chatting. His love for all of his children was larger than life itself, whenever he would talk about the them, his face glowed with pride. He would talk about his times with them playing whatever it was they wanted to play, finishing it off with some cookies and chocolate milk. My heart goes out to his children as life with their father was cut way too short, but they can seek comfort in the fact that he is in a better place than this Earth can offer and he adored them and would have given them the world if he could have. His roots and family were very important to him. His little sayings and positive attitude will be missed. Rest in Peace Klassen. My deepest condolences goes out to his family. - Posted by: Dia (Friend) on: Apr 17, 2020
