B.A., B.D. McMaster, M.Div. in clinical counselling, Acadia. Ralph Wilton, 83, dear husband of Ruth (Hill), went home to be with his Lord on Tuesday, June 11th.

He is survived by his children, of whom he was so very proud: David (Denise), John (Lori), Miriam (Luke) and predeceased by son Mark (Stephanie). He was the much loved grandpa of Nathan (Charry), Aleena (Kevin), Emily, Naomi, Mathew, Janna, Bradley, Ryan (Katie), Melissa, Heather, and Rebecca. His brothers John (Joy), Paul (Jan), and David (Naomi) remain to mourn his loss. He was predeceased by his sister Grace (Ross). His many cousins, nieces and nephews remember him with affection.

Ralph was born in Pithapuram, India, son of Canadian Baptist missionaries Leslie and Alma Wilton. His love of India and his many positive experiences there remained a formative part of his life. Each one of his pastorates was recalled by Ralph as a happy experience. He loved his congregations and ministered with integrity and a shepherd's heart. Always caring about people, he was a peacemaker. Children were especially attracted to him by his fun-loving side and his ability to tell a good story. Congregations appreciated his biblical preaching and its application to daily life.

Ralph served in Parry Sound, ON, First Baptist, Moncton, NB, Donway Baptist, Toronto, South Rawdon NS, Bromley Road Baptist, Ottawa and Wolfville United Baptist Church, NS, as well as several post retirement interim pastorates.

Ralph loved good music. He used his rich bass voice in the church choir, played his violin in the instrumental group, and was in the Bach Elgar choir for a period of time. At retirement he picked up his love of tennis and enjoyed being with his tennis mates.

The family is profoundly grateful for the caring of our local and extended church family, for the help of the CCAC, the VON, for all the compassionate nurses and for Dr. Johns. We cannot say enough about the tender care Ralph received during his brief stay at Emmanuel House Hospice. Thank you!

A memorial service will be held at MacNeill Baptist Church, Hamilton, on Sunday, June 16th at 4:00 p.m. Visitation at the church will precede the service from 2:30 p.m.

Donations honouring Ralph, may be made to Canadian Baptist Ministries, 7185 Millcreek Drive, Mississauga, ON L5N 5R4, MacNeill Baptist Church, Hamilton, or the Cancer Society.
