NEIL ‘NONNY’ MacInnes was known for many things – his shinty accolades, his charitable work and running Coasters bar – but to his family he was so much more than that. He was a family man, the life and soul of the party and a practical joker right up to the end.
Nonny passed away on Tuesday March 28, aged 46, following a battle with cancer. But he left behind a legacy that will help others defeat the dreaded disease. He founded the DMI Cancer Trust charity after losing his dad to the illness.
DMI raised around £47,000 through three charitable concerts titled We’ll Walk This Road Together, which featured Scotland’s top traditional music bands. His wife, Karen, will now continue the tradition in memory of Nonny, as will John Scott, who organised a charity football match We’ll Play This Game Together.
