Services planned on Tuesday for Prof. Emeritus Tom McIntosh
Prof. Emeritus Thomas H. McIntosh, a member of the founding faculty at UW-Green Bay, died on Wednesday, April 2 after a short illness. Prof. McIntosh joined UW-Green Bay in 1968, the institution's first year, as an associate professor and assistant to the dean in what was then the College of Environmental Sciences (CES). He came from the University of Arizona where he had been an associate professor of agricultural chemistry and soils. Prof. McIntosh earned degrees through the Ph.D. in agronomy and various aspects of soil science at Iowa State University.
In addition to teaching and active research, publishing, and presenting in his areas of expertise, Prof. McIntosh had a long history of administrative service at UW-Green Bay. In his second year he was promoted to assistant dean of CES, the following year to assistant dean in the office of the Dean of Colleges, and the next year to associate dean in that office. In 1975 he was named assistant chancellor for student and administrative services, and a year later as special assistant to the chancellor. He later served as senior adviser to the chancellor for nearly 10 years. In the early 1980s, Prof. McIntosh was chair of the Science and Environmental Change academic unit. In addition, he served the institution through committee work and other responsibilities. Prof. McIntosh was active in professional organizations and in the community in areas relating to his expertise. He won the 1992 UW-Green Bay Founders Association Award for Excellence in Community Outreach. He retired and was named Professor Emeritus in 1994.
Prof. McIntosh continued to be active on campus and in the community after retirement. Among activities, he was a founding board member of the Friends of the Cofrin Library and served as an officer, continued his longtime service on the Green Bay Mayor's Beautification Committee, and was integrally involved in the Green Bay Botanical Garden's holiday lighting and model railroad displays.
Services are planned for Tuesday, April 8. Details will appear in an obituary to be published.
Prof. McIntosh leaves his widow, Prof. Emerita Elaine N. McIntosh, also a member of the UW-Green Bay founding faculty. She retired in 1990. A son, Charles (Chuck) McIntosh, continues on the UW-Green Bay staff in the Custodial Operations unit.
