(From the AGC Web Site)

We were saddened to hear the news of the homegoing of Don Hamilton on Saturday March 14th after a long and difficult battle with cancer.  Though we grieve with the family, we do so not as those who have no hope, but with peace in the knowledge that Don is with our Lord whom he loved and served so well.

The AGC owes a large debt of gratitude to Don for his many years of ministry, starting with his formative years at Calvary Church in Toronto, then through over 50 years serving in 6 AGC churches including:

  • Westmount Park Church, Scarborough, ON
  • Redeemer Bible Church, Niagara Falls, ON
  • Peoples Church of Montreal, QC
  • Parkway Bible Church, Toronto, ON
  • Grace Church, Newmarket, ON
  • The Wikwemikong Fellowship, Manitowaning, ON

We were blessed to have him serve as our AGC President from 1990 to 1998. In his time as President, he was a mentor to many Pastors, and always took time to affirm and encourage those who were shepherding their own flock. He has touched countless lives with the message of the Gospel, and with his example of unshakable faith, even in the midst of devastating illness.

Don’s presence will be greatly missed within the AGC, but we rejoice that he is now experiencing full communion with the Saviour and like the apostle Paul can say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith

A wake will be held on Sunday March 15th and Monday March 16th at the DayStar Centre in Wikwemikong, with the funeral taking place at the Holy Cross Mission in Wikwemikong on Tuesday, March 17th at 11:00 am

On Wednesday, March 18th, there will be a private burial in Newmarket, ON, followed by a memorial service at Parkway Bible Church in Toronto at 7:00 pm.
