His parents were Bessie and James McIntosh, and he had siblings Ethel, Anna, and Alex.

Before marriage, he worked at various jobs in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. McIntosh had been educated at both Petrel and Carberry schools. He was road master for the rural Municipality of North Cypress during the 1930's.
