Timothy (Tim) Ian McIntyre 1944 -2017
Many of you will remember Tim from the Conventions and other stereoview related gatherings.
Long-time stereoview dealer and friend Tim passed away February 22nd, 2017, in Edmonton, Alberta after a short illness. He is survived by his wife, Donna, stepdaughter Lauren Logue and grandson Tobias, his sister Jacquie and brother Bob, his late first wife Monika's brother Hans and his wife Beate and many other family members.
For over a quarter century, Tim was in the antique photography business, focused mostly on stereo. He was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1944, and he grew up in Penticton, British Columbia and Edmonton. He was originally a unionized insulation installer (Local 110 Heat and Frost Insulators) before he got into antique photography. His home base was Stratford, Ontario for years and he traveled the world looking for stereoviews and other photography to add to his collection and stock.
When his first wife, Monika, passed on, the first few years after were very difficult for Tim. During this time, his sister found a starving kitten in distress, took her to a vet and then gave her to Tim with instructions on how to care for her. Tim's heart was too big to resist. Helping little Annie helped his grieving because at first she needed care for almost all Tim's waking hours. She owes her existence to Tim, who brought her from the edge of death to a life of love and caring.
Tim eventually got back in touch with a lady he'd met earlier in his life in Fort McMurray, Alberta in the 1970s, Donna Logue. He moved to Edmonton and they married, and she got Tim's spirits back up for the rest of his life. It speaks volumes about what kind of man he was, that after he married Donna, he took her to Germany to meet Monika’s family, and they all remained close. Donna asked me to include Tim's German in-laws in this tribute, as she considers them her family, too. Tim and Donna spent the winters in Edmonton and the summers at their home in Prince Edward Island.
Tim watched the news and read the newspapers. He was knowledgeable about world affairs and we had some interesting conversations. Likely his extensive travelling fueled his interest in those matters. I am proud that he considered me a friend. The world of stereoview collecting has lost a good man.
