John McIntosh Jr – Lived in Leominster, CEO Archer Security Agency Inc
John McIntosh Jr passed away from cancer on Sunday, July 31 at Sterling Village Nursing Home, with his son by his side.
He was born in North Grafton, MA on December 8, 1945 son of John and Dorothy (Lundgren) McIntosh. He is survived by his brother, Dennis McIntosh of California, and 4 sons, Douglas McIntosh and his wife Christina, of Altoona, PA., Brian McIntosh and his wife Patricia of Shrewsbury, MA., Michael McIntosh, residing in Japan, and Daniel McIntosh and his wife Alisha, of Florida. He leaves 4 grandchildren, Rachel, Sarah, Ryan, and Alexa. His brother, retired Captain Kirk McIntosh, U.S.M.C., predeceased him. He leaves his good friend and business partner, John Sleeper, and good friend, Donna LaPlume. He also leaves many cousins, nephews and a niece.
As a child, John grew up in Holden and North Grafton. He graduated from Grafton Memorial High School in 1963, thereafter serving in the U.S. Navy on the USS Essex during the Vietnam War Era. Honorably discharged, he then attended Worcester Junior College at night while working at Wyman Gordon Company in Worcester.
John founded Archer Security Agency Inc. in 1978 and moved to Leominster at that time. He also founded Absolute Answering Service and was President of Chauvin Investigative Service for several years. He attended the Worcester Police Academy and was a Special Police Officer for several years in the city of Worcester. His greatest passion in life was serving the community through the work of his business. He made a difference in the lives of many people in the housing communities in and around Leominster. He often hired college students majoring in criminal justice, and was very proud that 54 employees who worked for his company became Police Officers. John was recognized as a Leader in the Industry of Security and received the Presidential Who’s Who Award among Business and Professional Achievers Award in 2012. He always stated that he “never had a job” because he loved the work in which he was involved.
In his spare time, John loved watching the Boston Bruins, reading, and playing X-Box! He enjoyed traveling to places like Bermuda, Mexico, Las Vegas, Florida, and Arizona.
The family would like to thank and recognize the care and compassion he received from the wonderful staff at Sterling Village and Health Alliance Home Health and Hospice. You were not only his caregivers, but you were his friends.
