Helmut Werner

Coach Werner was my PE Professor at R-MC 1968-1969. I was not a great athlete by any stretch of the imagination, so I was delighted when he offered extra credit to anyone who wanted to be a ball boy for soccer games. I saw a lot of soccer and even made some friendships through that connection. Coach was a good and decent man, and I am grateful I had him in my life at that important time. When I returned to Ashland to serve as lead pastor at Duncan Memorial UMC, I visited him once in the hospital and enjoyed reconnecting. May he rest in peace, and may his family have many good memories and grateful hearts for his place in their lives.
