Thomas McIntyre, 62, passed away on Saturday, April 22, 2017. Beloved husband of Kathleen (Fahey), whom he married in 1986. Loving father of Thomas and his fiancée Madeline Mylett of Boston, and of Kelli and her fiancé Paul Mylett of Hopkinton. Born to the late Charles and Beverly (Welch) McIntyre of Hopkinton, on December 16, 1954. Brother of Charles and his wife Patricia of Indianapolis and of Daniel and his wife Eileen of Hopkinton. He is also survived by his mother-in-law Jacquelyne Fahey of Hopkinton, his aunt Kathleen Welch of Townsend, and his nieces nephews—Colleen, Paul, Erin, Marissa, Kevin, John, and Kathryn.

A lifelong Hopkinton resident, Thomas graduated from Hopkinton High School in 1972. After graduation, he bought a truck and a piece of land on Wood Street and started his business, known today as McIntyre Loam. Thomas was a volunteer firefighter on the Hopkinton Fire Department since 1974. He served on the Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce and was a past president of Hopkinton Little League. Thomas enjoyed restoring pieces of Hopkinton history throughout the town, including the planter in front of Colella’s; two fire department bells—one at the Fireman Memorial on Mt. Auburn Street, the other at the Woodville Fire Station. He also created and placed the granite marker at the Pond and Winter Street intersection and the sign in front of the fire station, built from the foundation of the original gazebo at the Town Common. He loved antique fire trucks, the Boston Red Sox, and the Hopkinton Horribles Parade, which was started by his family over 80 years ago.
