Werner Vanlooy

Werner or “Van” was a multi-talented man, able to fix or repair anything. He could build a house or a jewelry box. He loved the ocean, sailing and deep-sea fishing. His love was as deep as the ocean and he cared for all. Always a man of his word. His greatest passion was teaching people the Word and love of God and to help them grow in the knowledge of his Savior.
