Clarence McIntyre Obituary
A. McIntyre, Jr. MD
Dr. McIntyre, 80, longtime Nampa, ID community figure, devoted husband for 47 years and father of seven, died after a short illness on Thursday, December 8, 2011 in Charlotte, NC, where he had lived since 2004. 'Dr. Mac,' as he was known by friends and patients, had been a doctor at the Idaho State School, helped found the Terry Reilly Health Clinics, and ran a private practice for many years with his wife, Alice. Mac served in the Army 1960-63 at Ft. Bragg, NC, and then moved to Idaho to serve as a physician for the rest of his career. Over the years, Dr. and Mrs. McIntyre opened their home to over 100 people in different types of need for varying lengths of time. The McIntyre's conducted medical missions to Nepal, China, Mexico, Honduras, and Bangladesh.
Mac was as much loved for his eccentric personality and irreverent sense of humor as he was for his community work. Mac spent his final years in Charlotte, NC under the loving supervision of his oldest daughter Cindy, scandalizing the residents of Emeritus Retirement Home, teaching the occasional art class, and attending St. Johns Baptist Church.
Clarence McIntyre is survived by his brother, Charles, his children; Cindy, Wendy, Roy, Casandra, Patrick, Evan, and Vestal, his six grandchildren, several foster children, a legion of friends and patients.
The family will receive friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Sunday, December 18, 2011, at Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service. A service to celebrate Dr. Mac's life will be held 11:00 a.m. Monday, December 19, 2011, at St. John's Baptist Church, 300 Hawthorne LN., Charlotte, NC 28204.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Mac's name be sent to the Monastery of St. Gertrude's, 465 Keuterville Road, Cottonwood, ID 83522.
Arrangements are in the care of Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service, 1111 East Blvd. Please share condolences online at www.hankinsandwhittington.com.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Mac's passing. I have known Mac and entertained at Eastover for many years. We shared the same Birthday and often spoke of getting together to celebrate it. I only wish that we had done that. I will miss his smile and his wit.We were never at a loss for words when we would visit. I am blessed for having known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

My father was the best father one could ever have. He always made people laugh. He stood by me when I was in trouble and always made me feel special. I thank God for giving me such a great dad. I will miss him so much.

Clarence shared a table with my Father, Bill Rea Sr. I had the honor of sharing lunch at their table on November 16, 2011. He was absolutely charming and a pleasure to meet and visit with. I am saddened to hear of his passing.

Dear Family,
My mother-in-law is a resident at Emeritus. I have enjoyed may conversations with Dr. Mac the last few years. He just loved to tell stories and share his knowledge. His sense of humor was one of his greatest assets. He definately brought a smile to many faces. We're going to miss him so much.
