The following obituary was composed by Werner’s sons:
Werner Eugen Dangelmaier Sr, passed away peacefully at Majestic Oaks Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Warminster, PA on Dec 23, 2025 at the age of 86. Born on January 9, 1939 in the small town of Schorndorf, Germany, Werner Sr lived a life marked by hard work, steadfastness, frugality, story telling and an unwavering commitment to independence. His independence began early in life when he decided to leave his homeland of Germany for a better life in Canada at age 18. Eventually, he relocated to Philadelphia in 1963.
Life and Legacy
Werner was a dedicated tool and die maker for many years until his retirement in 2006. He completed his machinery career at Laneko Engineering in Fort Washington, PA. Werner was an armed forces veteran and served 2 years in the US Army during the Vietnam War. Beyond his professional life, Werner was passionate about restoring his 1965 Porsche 356 SC, tinkering with projects all around his house, spending weekends in the Pocono Mountains and attending local German social clubs such as the Vereinigung Erzgebirge and Cannstatter. In his earlier days, he loved to play soccer, even during lunch times at work.
Family
Werner is preceded in death by his loving and committed wife, Christine "Christ!" Dangelmaier; and survived by his children, Werner, Jr (Nalinrat), Riki (Anna-Sara); and grandchildren, Markus, Lindsey, Akal and Karam and his siblings Bernhardt and Gisela. He is preceded in death by his brother Hans, sister Margaret and parents Rosa and Eugen Dangelmaier of Schorndorf, Germany.
