                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 31, 2014

  Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Caldwell 
``Hank'' Haynes.
  Born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1941, Hank was a friend to all he 
knew. A sports enthusiast, he was the manager of the football team at 
my own alma-mater, Lee High School, in Jacksonville. Hank attended 
college at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, where he 
was inducted into the Athletic Hall of fame after garnering 10 varsity 
letters, four in wrestling, two in baseball, and four as the manager of 
the football team.
  Following graduation, Hank served as an officer in the Navy for four 
years. He was on a destroyer stationed in San Diego when by chance he 
met his wife, Billie Haynes, also a Jacksonville native and Lee High 
School graduate. They were married for forty-six years where they 
resided in Jacksonville.
  Upon leaving the Navy, Hank went to work for his family's insurance 
firm, Peter and Bond Insurance, the oldest insurance firm in Florida. 
He became president of the company in 1981 when his father retired. In 
2007 Hank merged the company with GHG Insurance and formed what is now 
known as Haynes, Peters and Bond Co. Dedicated to his work, Hank 
continued to work at the firm up until two weeks before his death.
  A role model to many, Hank was a well respected leader of our 
community in Jacksonville. His generosity of spirit and winning 
personality will make him long remembered. I send his family my 
heartfelt condolences and I know that Jacksonville will mourn his loss 
greatly.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and Members of the House to join me in this 
solemn goodbye to Hank Haynes.
