Werner was a good friend and colleague. Larry and he were golfing, fishing, and hunting buddies, and I know he treasures the memories of the good times they had together. Werner was also a gracious host, and I always appreciated his dinner parties and other get-togethers. Werner loved to hike. One of my most memorable times with him was a trip he, Connie, Rick and Nancy Staffieri, and Larry and I went into New York City, where—somehow—he convinced us to walk from Uptown diagonally through Central Park to Lincoln Center, where we had parked. Connie and I destroyed our shoes in what became known as Werner’s forced march. Thanks for the memories, Werner. Rest In Peace.
