MICHAEL MCINTOSH Obituary

McINTOSH--Michael.

The Board and Staff of NRDC mourn the loss of our treasured friend and founding trustee, Michael McIntosh. Michael was instrumental in building NRDC and its mission. His fighting spirit embodied the heart and soul of the institution. He was a champion of justice, a protector of people, and a defender of our last great landscapes, including his cherished Alaskan wilderness. We will forever remain honored to be a part of his remarkable legacy. Our deepest sympathies go out to his beloved wife Winsome, his sons and grandchildren and everyone who had the privilege to call him a friend. Daniel R. Tishman, Chairman, Rhea Suh, President, John H. Adams, Founding Director, Frances Beinecke, former President

Mike was an incredible human being. He was a visionary with so much courage and drive. I learned very much from Mike, things I still use to this day. He was in great measure responsible for my pursuit of public interest law and governmental accountability as a theme underlying my work. He really touched my life. The world will miss him. My deep condolences to Winsome and his entire family. Al Hadeed, Flagler County, Florida

I put a post up right away on Facebook after my mom called. Your dad, Husband, Granddad, my uncle was a different sort than are minted currently, what his brother, my dad, would call a Character. He was this sort of lighthouse for our family, with his connection to the world and passion for a specific kind of justice, that is a lasting legacy for those of us who drink, eat and hope our kids and grandkids can too. Pop Culture dilutes, but he was an original recipe, and with his wife, and his children, and their kids, this idea of justice can be fought for, as we all go on... ...I often said he earned his entry through the pearly gates with his pals that created NRDC. I'll have to keep trying for a while longer...
