He was born on August 31, 1951 to the late Franklin Haines and Mary Durbin Haines. He was retired from Emerald Mine. He was a member of Hope Church in Belle Vernon. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and was a lover of cars - he also enjoyed taking meticulous care of his lawn. He was a really good guy who loved his family.

He is survived by his companion, Janet Hamilton; daughter, Tammy Clark; stepchildren, Scott Bowman (Wendy), Brenda Smith, and Debbie Caudill; siblings, Kathy Howard (Jim) and Chris Haines (Lisa); stepsister, Marlene Gorman (Don); grandchildren, Russell Clark, Olivia Lowery, Jimmy Smith, Kayla Balazick (Brian), Tyler Bowman (Brianne), and Logan Bowman (Allison); and great-grandchildren, Malina, Bain, Layla, and Jaxson; nephews, Kellen Haines, and Cody Haines (Audra); and great-niece, Winni.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth Marie Bowman Haines.
