Cremains buried in an urn with his mother, Mary Margaret Allen McIntyre per his request.

Glenn Michael “Mike” McIntyre was an ordained Methodist minister, but resigned from active participation in that church in the mid 1980s over its position regarding the ordination of gay people. Mike became an Episcopalian and was an active participant, vestry member and delegate to the diocesan convention from the Church of the Epiphany. Mike received a bachelor’s degree from Illinois Wesleyan, a master of divinity from Drew University and a doctor of ministry from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. He spent his early career working in various administrative and social action positions for the United Methodist Church, before serving parishes in Illinois, Long Island, and New Jersey.

Mike’s most recent position was that of vice president for education at the Home Builder’s Institute, where he was the coordinator of a government contract to start the private housing industry in Poland. Mike’s interests included classical music, travel, and old cars. He had an extensive collection of car models, and a two-tone (turquoise and white) 1964 Ford Thunderbird. In his various roles in life, Mike always had a keen sense of caring for others. According to his long-time partner, Barry Moss, “Even though he didn’t wear a collar, Mike was a friend and pastor to many people.” Following his passing on June 24, a burial eucharist was held at The Church of the Epiphany in Washington, D.C. Music of Bach, Handel, Brahms, and Widor lifted Mike’s spirit heavenward.
