Herrold F. Haynes, 90
Herrold F. Haynes went to be with the Lord on January 28, 2009 at the home of his son in Shalimar, FL, where he resided since 2007 after the death of his beloved wife Dorothy.
He was born on August 4, 1918 in Buncombe County. He served in World War II from 1941 to 1945 with the US Army Air Corps. He married Dorothy M. McDaniel in 1947 and they lived in Henderson County for over 50 years.
He worked for Olin Corporation for over 20 years before retiring in the early 70ís. He was a member of Stoney Mountain Baptist Church where he was actively involved in ministry. He devoted his life to Jesus Christ and was an encouragement to those who were blessed to know him.
Herrold enjoyed the outdoors and spent many hours gardening. He planted a variety of vegetables that family and friends greatly enjoyed. He also loved to hunt and fish and was able to venture on many such trips with his brothers and son. As a loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather he was known to be a little feisty and he took great pleasure in making his family laugh. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, daughter and other family friends.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy McDaniel Haynes; parents, Arthur Leroy and Arizona Burleson Haynes; and brothers, Galveston Haynes and Boyd Haynes.
Those left to cherish his memory are his son, Leon Haynes and wife, Pam, of Shalimar, FL; his daughter June Oliver and husband Garey of Ayden, NC; two granddaughters, Heather Haynes Morgan and husband, Kevin, of Istanbul, Turkey; and Ashley Haynes Harkins and husband, Jim of Shalimar, FL; four great grandchildren, Charis Haynes and Brittany, Bailey and Berkley Harkins; five brothers, Harlen, Boyce, Adger, Robert and Graham Haynes; two sisters, Marion Horton and Wilma Conner; plus a host of beloved in-laws, nieces, nephews and cousins.

We will continue to remember you in our thoughts and prayers. You did a wonderful job in caring for your dear loved one. We will miss him. He was a wonderful friend, and we feel blessed having him in our lives.
Your mom and dad sure left a Godly heritage for your family. We were blessed to have been their Christian friends and family at Stoney Mountain Baptist Church for several years. We have so many good memories of them both. May God bless each of you and comfort you at this time. Love and Prayers, Sam and Linda
Leon, June and Family,
It was a great priviledge to know Herrold(Papaw) Haynes. He was an inspiration to all who knew and loved him. He welcomed me to Stoney Mt. the first time I visited with open arms and the biggest hug. I fell in love with him and Dot that day and remained friends with them throughout the years. I know they are together again rejoicing to see each other and their precious Savior. I look forward one day for that reunion also. God Bless each one of you and all my love. Ann
Mr.Haynes was a true blessing. He always had a word of praise, even in difficult times. May God comfort you during this time.
