It is with broken hearts the family of Paul Harris McIntyre, loving and devoted husband of Natalie (Keating) McIntyre announce his peaceful passing which occurred on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at his home, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Saint John, NB on April 19, 1962, he is the son of Patricia (Lunney) McIntyre and the late Paul Eugene McIntyre. Paul started his career at Ritchie’s over 40 years ago and was the manager for the past 25 years, always welcoming customers with his cheerful smile. A great athlete, Paul enjoyed curling, softball, where he represented New Brunswick at the Canadian Nationals in 1994 and golfing, especially in Myrtle Beach with Bernie, his brothers in-law and against Trudy and Cindy. Following in his father’s footsteps, Paul had a passion for bowling.
Paul made a special connection with every person he met. Known as Mr. Personality, he loved life and was the life of the party, family gatherings and the annual trip to the Miramichi for the Irish Festival, where only Paul, could pull off wearing pink, while everyone else wore green. Paul’s shining personality brightened the darkest room. His legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of everyone he interacted with. Paul was a big supporter of the Coors Light Company. Thank you Paul, for blessing us with your wit, kindness, generosity and love – Cheers!
