Tomato Juice that's Good for the Soul

I don't think Grandpa ever made me any food, not because he was mean, but because he didn't cook.

Grandma, on the other hand, did all the cooking, following the prevailing social norms as a good Mennonite woman, even though she didn't love it.

After Grandma's passing, almost 10 years ago, Grandpa's ketchup consumption increased, revealing his limited kitchen skills.

He was an incredible teacher, speaker, and theologian.

His study was filled with books and sermon tapes, proof of his lifelong love of learning, with a career spanning 50 years of revival meetings and over 40 years of college Bible classes, alongside almost 63 years of marriage.

Author's summary: Grandpa's legacy is filled with flavors of love and learning.
