P.J. Haynes.....One of the best men, I have ever had the priviledge to know, my mother's ( Willeta Haynes Watson ) younger brother, he was the one that stepped in ANYTIME he could help, being there for us kids when my father's 2 Full Time jobs kept him from being our mentor, fishing/hunting trips, work study, he was there to help remodel our homes, when my eldest sister suffered strokes & died, there for her family, was there for Willeta thru 20 yrs alzheimers and never failing to be there for my father & mother  until the end.  He and i in the past 10 yrs shared many health issues, a bond I will none the less treasure.  With P.J. around, like a life jacket all is well, I want to  extend my  sympathy to Cathy & Jay, as long as he is in their hearts & minds he is among them, every breath is with his.  I am not a man with great public speaking skills but compelled to speak of him and completlu open to  commicatiom  with Cathy,Jay and of course  dear Kay  

My dear uncle P.J. had the kindest soul, he was always so good to my family.  I loved him for the wonderful person he was, and will never forget him. 

Blessings and love to his immediate family, he will be missed by all who knew him.

I loved my Uncle Podge and am going to miss him very much.  Every time I saw him he always smiled real big and hugged and kissed me.  I always felt like he loved me, was interested in my life and he was always ready to talk about everything under the sun.  It is hard to have someone you love go on to glory but I know this world was not his home any more than it is any of ours.  My heart is full when I think about Grandpa Merle and my dad,  Bill Douglas, and Lance and all the others greeting him as he goes into the arms of Jesus and is received into our great God's presence, having all tears wiped from his eyes and filled with peace and unimaginable love.  I love you Aunt Kay, Cathy, Jay, and all my second cousins and their kids and everyone else and I pray you all have peace and happiness in your hearts as you imagine what heaven is like!  

2 Corinthians 5:8 8  
We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the LORD.

An inside joke from Karl:  "Wonder if they have any coats made for men in heaven?"
Uncle Podge would laugh at that one and Aunt Kay will want to smack Karl again!!!  I am sure someone will let you all in on this funny memory:)!

Love you Uncle Podge!!!
