To the family of my dear friend, Werner Brandecker. Werner and I became best friends when I immigrated to Canada in 1966, and we have kept up contact ever since. Our visits with him in later years will remain forever in my memory because despite his condition, his spirit set us a remarkable example. We shared the same birthday. He is forever in my memory and we are really sad he is gone. We want to express our deepest sympathy to the family. Devon, Alberta. Rudy Gold, (and Teressa Gold)

To know and be part of Werner's life and his assistant , was an awesome priviledge forever cherished.
He is part of my life and laughter, my admiration is without limits, his generosity,sense of humour and awesome optimism has made him a legend among all my friends and family. Always a coward I lost him much sooner, when I could not keep visiting him.
