Monte Wayne McIntosh

Monte Wayne McIntosh, Bloomfield, left this life to be with God, Sunday, April 13, 2015. He was a strong Christian who through his actions, set an example of living in Christian faith. He was a lover of life and was never afraid to try something new. Devoted husband of nearly 48 years, to Sue McIntosh, he was rarely found in public without his wife by his side. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed all of the beauty and bounty that nature had to offer. He loved hunting any game bird and fishing and spent many days in the field, woods and on the water all across the country doing what he loved with friends and family. Throughout his life, he tried and succeeded at many things. He was likely most skilled at woodworking and carpentry. He was an artist who used wood as his medium. Unknown to most, he was also a poet and has penned many, unpublished poems. He was an automobile enthusiast and had a great appreciation for a nicely restored auto. He was a farmer, a realtor, and was often called upon as a towing service on Rubber Tree Road. He and his wife Sue were Jr Prom sponsors for many years and it is suspected that he enjoyed attending these proms in an effort to teach others his unique dancing style. He worked for many years for the United States Department of Agriculture in the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) in the Greene County Office. Monte was most well known as a Teacher. He taught for 7 years at L&M High School before spending the next 33 years at Bloomfield School District where he taught Industrial Arts and Family Living.
