Arthur H. Mcintosh

McIntosh, Arthur H. of Quincy, formerly of Hingham and Norwood, died peacefully, surrounded by his loving family on December 1, 2020. 

Arthur’s life revolved around his family, country, and his occupation.  His wife Agnes was the center of his life and they were always in each others company.  Their devotion to each other never wavered and became a powerful example for their family.  Arthur was a proud veteran of the U.S. Army and served during WWII in Europe, including landing in Normandy on the third day of the invasion.  A plumber by trade, he was the oldest living member of the Plumbers & Gasfitters UA Local #12 in Boston.  Arthur traveled extensively with his wife to several U.S. and European destinations.  He took meticulous care of his home and was an avid gardener and expert chair caner.  A local Boston sports fan, Arthur enjoyed his beloved Bruins and Red Sox.  Above all else he was proud of his family, many of which followed in his wife’s footsteps into the medical field.  He will be remembered as a gentleman, who could hold a conversation with friends, was adored by his neighbors, and had that special talent to fix just about anything. 

Beloved husband of the late Agnes (Russo) McIntosh.  Loving father of Corinne McCarthy and her husband Francis of Norwood, Marifrances McIntosh and her husband Christopher Coon of VT, Elizabeth Gladyszak and her husband Joseph of Billerica, and Arthur P. “Chip” McIntosh and his partner John Heaney of Quincy.  He was pre-deceased by three loving sisters.  Cherished “Grandpa” to Christopher, Mark, Lisa, Matthew, Nicholas, Erin, Andrew, Kate, Laurie and Colby.  Step Grandfather to Aaron and Mya.  Also survived by 12 great grandchildren, many nieces & nephews, and his favorite dog Batman.
