HORACE ROY MACINTYRE

Your presence will be sun in winter.

Horace was born in Kincardine, twenty-six years

ago. At High School, Horace developed a tenacious

memory and skill in hockey and other sports.

While yet young he entered a bank, but learned

that the Medical profession had need of him and

answered the call. We remember well his skit as

"Miss Sunshine" of Daffodil night, and his patients

will not want for a cheery greeting or a good story

well told.

DR. HORACE MacINTYRE, aged 65, chief medical advisor to the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey club, died in St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto, on February 2 [1954]. A native of Kincardine, Ont., he was a graduate of the medical school of the University of Toronto. Active in sports from childhood, he managed several of the college's junior hockey teams. Dr. MacIntyre served overseas as a battalion medical officer in World War 1. On his return he was in charge of the chest clinic at the Christie Street Military Hospital and thousands of veterans passed through his office. Later he went to Sunnybrook Hospital in the same capacity and after his retirement from there he remained active as consultant in chest cases. He was associated with St. Joseph's Hospital for 30 years. He is survived by his widow, a daughter and a son.
