IAN CHARLES MCINTOSH

Feb 16, 1926 – Feb 10, 2019

We are sad to announce that our beloved husband and father, Ian Charles McIntosh, passed away 6 days short of his 93rd birthday.

He leaves to mourn: Glenys (nee Byron), his wife of 66 years; daughter, Anne; son Ross (Kitty Pope); and son, Murray; 4 granddogs; 3 nephews, 1 niece, and their children.  He was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Genevieve and his sister, Joan Smith, as well as brother-in-law Tommy, sister-in-law Cathy and nephew Douglas.

Ian was born in Winnipeg and raised in Kinistino until 1943 when he enlisted in the Navy.  He served as signalman on a frigate until 1945.  He later made his way to the Holinger gold mine in Timmins, Ont..  There he met, and married, Glenys in 1952.  They moved west to Alberta; Anne and Ross were born while there.  They then settled in PA and Ian began accounting at Charles McIntosh & Co, and Murray was born.

While accounting, he looked forward to the weekends!  That was when he enjoyed farming his father’s land.  Volunteering played a big role in his life, especially after retirement.  He was part of the visitation program at the pennitentiary and provincial jail, and was a ‘cuddler’ on the pediatrics ward.

He loved to travel, whether it was short drives to the lake, or travelling across Canada and the States.  He also traveled to Germany, England, Wales, Hawaii, and Korea.  His hobbies were reading, golf, and cross country skiing.

Ian was a generous man always interested in learning, and he maintained that love of learning to the end.  His final generous act was the donation of his body to the U of S to support the further learning of new medical students.

Donations in Ian’s memory may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.  A memorial service will be held at a later date.
