Mr. Haynes, I feel honored to have known you over the past 30 years. Thank you for your kindness, humor and generosity. Thank you for the rides to school, the dips in the pool, the warm welcomes to family parties and yacht club events, the shelter (parking spot) in a storm, and our chats by the river. I will miss you. May your love of family, friends, and your community continue to be an example for us all. Please pray for Mrs. Haynes, Mag, Liz, Bek, Will and all of your beautiful grandchildren in their time of sorrow. God bless you and keep you close.

My deepest sympathy on your loss. Bill worked for me at FM on the Exxon Mobil account. I talked to him several times after he retired and will truly miss him. He was truly a great man.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Bill at FM and found him to be a very compassionate and kind soul. I know he will be dearly missed.
