My wife and I met Dr MacInnis when we visited Shubenacadie in September, 2008. Today, in January 2024, I was in the process of planning another trip to the area and discovered that he'd passed away. During our visit he was leading tours of the museum and took time to answer questions and talk about the town, we felt lucky to have met him. He seemed a generous, kind man who loved his community and made visitors feel welcome.

Ross will remain in my memory forever, for the stands he took in life in two seemingly unrelated areas: healthcare and gun owners' rights.
He was a character I remember as larger than life. The Bowie knife he carried in the 70s was a symbol of his independent spirit.
P.S. I would love to connect with Ann again, as it's been a lifetime.

Dear Madeline and family, Muffy and I send our deepest condolences for the passing of Ross. He was a great friend over many years now and one of the last connections I have with people who were close to my Dad. We had many great times over the years, both when dad was still around and after that, right up until just a week before Ross's passing. Going to a gun show or up to the "Shack in the Woods" will not be quite the same ever again for me. Please know that we are thinking about you all at this difficult time. I hope to get in to visit sometime down the road when I have a chance. Warmest personal regards, Ray

Ann, I am so sorry to hear of your father's departure. He has a larger than life presence in my memory, even though I was only around him a brief time. I have referred to him throughout my life and still remember him well. I'm sure there will be many stories retold of his interactions with the world, both during this time of mourning as well as far into the future.

I wish to express my deep and sincere sympathy for the loss of Dr. MacInnis. He was my doctor for most of my life and delivered my first, and only, child.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Dr. MacInnis was my first doctor as a child, he delivered me and cared for me throughout my formative years, and was the best physician I have ever had. He was a wonderful man, kind and patient, he always took so much time and care with me. In fact he took such time in explaining everything he did when I was there that he fostered a life long interest in medicine for me. He was a truly gifted physician and a great man. Dr. MacInnis will be mourned and missed by many. You are not alone in your grief and our prayers are with you.

I was lucky enough to know Ross as a family friend for my entire life, as he was always inseparable with my father Bruce. Whenever I would come to visit Nova Scotia, there'd always be a stop at the MacInnis household for stories and hospitality. I count myself blessed to have seen Ross only a few scant weeks ago - a jovial and dignified as I've always remembered him. If I could live a life even half as full of friends and family as Ross, I would count myself lucky to have made the most of my journey. My heart goes out to you Madeline, thank you for sharing him with us.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ross. I remenber his slap before the needle hurt worse than the needle.I was very lucky to grow up with his family. HE taught us about guns and how to fire a musket.he had a pole fort built for us a pond dug for hockey and i remember spending hours on the merry go round he had set up for us kids and the trips to Shortt`s lake in the back of the land rover or the stationwagon with us kids yelling to go fast over the big bump on the shortt`s lake road.I was also very lucky to be able to serve with Ross on the tinsmith musuem board and it was something to see Ross in action he didn`t mince words and he knew how to get things done. WE were very blessed to have his leadership

Dear Madelaine,Ann and siblings, I have so many fond memories of Dr.MacInnis..He was so patient with all of us kids. "You Williams girls are all alike. Don't shut your eyes when I throw the ball". He kept me alive by coming to the house on his way to the airport en route to Mexico when I had scarlet fever. He built a rink so the whole neighbourhood could skate. We knew when it was midnight on New Years' Eve. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. He will be missed but he had a well-lived life. Love,Gwen
