John McIntyre Obituary
John was born in Corning, N.Y. on November 11, 1934 to the late Guy & Dorothy (Hamilton) McIntyre.
John loved the New York Yankees, Geneva Cubs/Redwings, playing euchre, going to Mac's Drive In, and spending time with his family. In his younger years, John was an avid bowler at Sunset Bowl.
John is survived by his sons, Guy (Mary) McIntyre of Waterloo, John (Mary) McIntyre Jr. of Waterloo, Fred (Dianne) McIntyre of Seneca Falls, and William (Nicole) McIntyre of Waterloo; daughters, Candy (William) Arnold of Waterloo, Mercedes Rivadeneira of Ecuador, Eileen Butler of Bath, and Louann Wood of Corning; his sister-in-law, Sandy(Gene) Kinney of Pennsylvania; many many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews from near and far whom he loved with all his heart.
John will be deeply missed by all who knew him, either through him delivering newspapers for the Finger Lakes Times, his Janitorial Company his son and he ran for many years, or from just seeing him around Geneva or at Byrne Dairy scratching off his lottery tickets. He always made time for others who needed it by either giving rides to appointments or to the store.
John was predeceased by his loving wife, Evelyn; brothers, Robert and Stewart; sisters, Florence, Dot, and Shirley; his daughter, Ramona; and granddaughter, Nancy Chase- Wagner.
The family would like to thank the staff at Seneca Nursing and Hospice for making his last days more comfortable for him.

I remember Dad Mac and his wife beloved Ma Mac over 40 years ago. They were always kind loving and left you with a smile. I remember running into Dad Mac at the stores and with his beloved grandchildren and family! We had the best of times and he was ever so cheerful and made me laugh. Blessings to the entire family. He will be missed! But his love friendliness goes on through his children and grandchildren! People like Dad Mac will never be forgotten

Our deepest condolences to all of the McIntyre family . Thinking back on the years of bowling, the IOOB Club and our families getting together. Lots of great memories. Your dad was the best raffle ticket seller!! He has a special way of getting everyone to buy multiple raffle tickets. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. May you find peace and healing knowing he is with your mom. Bill and I are snowbirds in Fl and are sorry we cannot be there for your dad´s services. Hugs to all of you. Sharlene (Robbins) Struzyk
