Liebe Iris, liebe Rita, lieber Tom! Onkel Werni war ein Bestandteil meines Lebens, ebenso wie Ihr es seid und auch wie Tante Uschi es war. In der gemessenen Entfernung so weit weg, aber gefühlt immer sehr nah. Ich wünsche Euch alles Liebe in der Zeit des Abschieds. Herzliche Grüße, Janine
I am so blessed to have known this remarkable man for 50 years. He treated me as a daughter. His kindness and love will be deeply missed. I will hold you in my heart for my forever.
Our sincerest condolences to the Krebs family. And what a wonderful family you have created Werner. We are so happy that we met you for the first time in 2016, and only wish we had met you and your wonderful family earlier. Even though we have only known you the seven years, it feels like we have known you all our lives. Like many have already said, we will never forget your humour, your bear hugs and positive attitude to almost everything (except your computer!). Thanks for filling the gaps in my parents’ life while in Canada. I am so grateful for that and the stories you have told of your upbringing with my mother. I hope that you are now reunited. Miss you Werner, heaps. With bear love hugs from Peter, Cecilia, Emma and Stella in Sweden.

Our sincere condolences to the Krebs family. We worked with Werner at Kraft and took much enjoyment from his sense of humour and hearty laugh. It always brought a smile when I saw this gentle giant get in and out his little VW, morning and afternoon. Great memories of a real gentleman!
Our deepest condolences during this sad time. May you find strength in each other and in knowing your dad did not suffer with pain and in that he was surrounded by the people he loved. Hugs and love, Gerri and Ed
Our family moved across the ‘street’ from Werner while I was still living at home. Our family immediately felt welcomed and we quickly developed a neighbourly bond. I will always remember Werner’s vibrant zest for life, and his kind heart. I feel privileged to be one of the people with whom he had an influence on. My condolences to his family and loved ones.
Sorry for your lose. Werner was always a good neighbour. Had a few laughs with him and Ursala. Terry Turk and family

Our condolences to the entire Krebs family on the passing of Mr. Werner Krebs. Every time we meet Mr. Krebs he was happy, had a mischief smile on his face, greeted us with open arms and a strong hug or handshake. A truly very nice man. He will be remembered by us as a gentle giant. RIP Mr. Krebs.
My most sincere sympathies to Rita, Iris, and all of the family. May he rest in peace.
Du nanntest mich, wenn wir uns in Deutschland oder Kanada trafen, "Kleene", und das war ich in der Tat im Vergleich zu dir. Aber gemocht habe ich dich wie eine ganz "Große". Das wird so bleiben. Deine Schwägerin Kathi.
Deine Geschichte erinnert mich an meine Jugendzeit, als Freddy Quinn "Unter fremden Sternen" sang und das Fernweh nach Kanada in den 60-ern in seinen Filmen zum Ausdruck brachte. Du hast deinen Traum gelebt und hast mich daran teilnehmen lassen. Ich vermisse dich. Dein Bruder Hans(i)
