McInnis, Daniel Joseph Age 58, Drum Head, passed away peacefully after a short but aggressive battle with cancer on Saturday May 23 2015, in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish. Danny was born in Glace Bay and was a son of Joseph and the late Mary (Bray) McInnis. As a 17 year old boy Danny joined the Military attending RRMC and RMC.  He had a career for 21 years as an Air Weapons Controller, having his last posting in Winnipeg where he met his wife Judy and they took their retirement.  Danny moved to Drum Head where they built their dream home overlooking the ocean he loved so much. He then went on to a second career at StFX University filling numerous positions finishing as Associate Registrar and filling the role of Registrar twice. Danny worked hard to achieve his dream of early retirement and spent the rest of his time traveling the world with Judy.  His happiest times were on a warm sunny beach.  Danny is survived by his wife Judy Burke, son Daniel (Venus) McInnis, Brandon MB; daughter, Angela (Justin) Counter, Ottawa ON; grandchildren, Daniel, Benjamin, Brooklyn and Eric. He is survived by his father, Joseph McInnis and siblings: Mary (Ryu) Yokoo; Anne(Nigel) Kelly; Andrew (Xiaoping) McInnis; Theresa (Kevin) Wile; Vivian (Scott) Collacutt; Gerard McInnis; Eileen (Monty) McInnis.
