I came to know Kaljo 1963. The occasion was my dad’s visit from
Sweden to Toronto. It was my desire to bring my dad hear the
Gospel in Estonian Language. I called the church where Kaljo was the pastor.
He invited me and my dad to visit the church and from that time on
I had many contacts with Kaljo. Together we made visits to Estonians
outside of Toronto. I recall one of such visits.
To make the trip I asked him to come to our home were we would have lunch
before leaving. He came in and made himself at home. In the kitchen he looked
into the cupboards, I asked, what are you looking, he said “Do you not have
any peanut butter?” I found some and he made a sandwich for himself.
From that time we became good friends. He gave me opportunities
to speak at the church, and I in-turn came to appreciate his fellowship.
Through the work of our Lord Jesus Christ we were united into an eternal bond.
I will see him one day!
