It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful loving husband, father and grandfather, Donald A. MacInnis, on Wednesday, November 23, 2016, at home, surrounded by his family.

Donnie worked for many years with the Cape Breton Development Corporation. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 8, Sydney Mines. Donnie had a true passion for harness racing. In his earlier years, he owned and raced several horses, and enjoyed spending time at the track.
For the last 24 years, Donnie enjoyed camping at St Ann’s Campground with his many friends; cooking chips for the campers, and a good game of cards.
He enjoyed his daily routine, a visit to the coffee shop and Joe Peck’s garage to chat with his buddies.
