What a wonderful celebration of a life fully lived and enjoyed! Bekki, your parents were the coolest and so always in love with each other...I always envied the close relationship you shared with your Dad (“Daddy” as you so affectionately called him).  Please love on your Mom from me and fill a great void with many, many wonderful memories.   Much love to you all my dear friend!

As Dale’s sister, I’ve known Jimmy for 67 years. The great friendly handsome smile, is what I and everyone he knew will always remember. I always enjoyed watching him throw a football with so much grace and accuracy. Most of all, Ken and I have so many memories of fun times together in Austin, going to games, dancing, visiting them on the lake. Jimmy was always ready to entertain and have fun! He was such a lovable guy.  He was fortunate to have Bekki, Brent and Brenda close to care for him when he needed them. Dale has been so strong through all of this. They had a long love affair through the ups and downs of 67 years of marriage. Ken and I are here for her with our love and support! ❤️

From the moment I met Grandad, the warmth of his smile and the kindness in his heart was obvious. He always treated me with unconditional love because he knew his grandson loved me. He taught us all to love and laugh and enjoy the power of family. I loved to listen to the enduring love that he shared about his wife.  How they met, how they raised their children, and how the played and traveled in love the whole time. Dale was adored to the max. He passed that love to his children and grandchildren. And I am the lucky recipient of of the of how he taught Travis to love whole heartedly. I will miss him, his smile, his laugh but his spirit carries on eternal. 

My Grandad was the most affectionate, loving, and happy man I have ever known. Growing up, we spent almost every holiday together and every time we would part, I would always look forward to the next time I got to see him and his smile. It was so contagious and the memory of his smile will last forever in my heart. I feel blessed that he was in my life for as long as he was and have so many cherished memories. From driving us down to camp each summer and picking us up, to him teaching me how to drive the boat, always watching football together, and so so many more. He was an incredibly strong man who taught me how to love unconditionally and never left me without a hug and kiss goodbye. Forever in my heart, I love you Grandad.

We had the pleasure of meeting Jim and his wonderful family through our hospice care. We are grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve him during his time of need. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. 

I met Jimmy when I married Dale’s brother Pug in 1964. I was so impressed by his storied football career. (We Lbb High Westerners didn’t have many victories to celebrate in later years. ). He was handsome, so friendly, and lots of fun. We spent countless hours at the Haynie home in Lbb., enjoying watching our nieces and nephew grow up.  Jimmy and I would commiserate about our migraines-he suffered terribly.   Dale, I send my sympathy on the loss of your best friend and sweet husband of so many years. Bekki, Brent, and Brenda, knowing how much your dad was loved must be a great comfort. May God grant you His peace as you travel this road. 

Dear Dale and extended Haynie Family,

We are saddened to learn about the death of your loved one and our friend Jim Haynie. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss. We know your grief must be very hard to carry and we’re praying to God to send the Holy Spirit to each of you to help ease your pain.

My husband and I have many good memories of dear Jim Haynie because he was a very unique and special man. We first met Jim and Dale as the parents of our San Antonio neighbor, Bekki. We quickly learned that Bekki’s father was gregarious, a handsome CPA, fun, and very easy to talk to. Jim Haynie was what they call, a “man’s man,” and admired by many. He was athletic and sports came easy for him. We learned he was a varsity quarterback football player at SMU. He loved to laugh and play cards, and also was an excellent water skier and tennis player. 

As Bekki and Greg’s neighbors, we saw Jim at several social and family get-togethers and observed how he interacted as a friend, a loving husband, father, father-in-law, and a grandfather. His affection for his wife Dale was sincere and admirable, for we could tell they were still in love. They were also good dancers and had fun being together along with many friends. 

I think we can all agree Jim was blessed and able to live a long, productive life with so many wonderful experiences. - We are all going to miss Jim Haynie. 

With our deepest and sincere sympathy and love,
*Jenice and Jim Benedict    11-12-2020





My Grandad was the sweetest man I’ve ever met. His warm and infectious smile is what I will miss the most. The memories I have of him are all so wonderful. I will always cherish the times I spent with him and Mimi at their home on Lake Austin. It brings a smile to my face remembering Grandad chanting  “Camp Mimi and Grandad!” as we walked up the door to visit. I will always remember our boat cruises to The County Line, collecting pecans with him in the backyard and telling us about “Ellie” the Elephant under the deck, watching UT football games and so many more amazing memories he created with his grandchildren. I am so blessed to his granddaughter!

Dad will always be my Hero. Always. He taught me family, sports and what Love really is, and it’s healing power. He let me learn things the hard way and then would gently lead me back to a better plan; a better way to live forwardly. He lifted me up in my darkest hours and I will forever be in his debt. I will pay it forward. 
Love to All, Brent

I looked forward to seeing Jim, because he always had a smile on his face & a big hug to share.  One of my favorite things to do was to watch Jim’s face, as he observed Dale and/or his children or grandchildren.   He was so proud of his family & just watching them brought him great joy.

Jim was a man of quality & integrity.  You will be loved forever!

From the moment I met Granddad,  he always treated me as family. The man lived an extraordinary life that touched many people, most of all his family. A few weeks ago he was able to meet his newest great grandchild and I could tell that he was proud of the family he had built. We will miss you greatly, but know you’re in a better place. We hope our son receives your tender hearted spirit and persistent sense of humor. 

They don’t let you write enough in here to say all the amazing things and memories there are about Grandad. He was such a loving and kind person and we are all so lucky to have been able to know him. He was the only Grandad I was able to know and I am so thankful for the wonderful times we had together.  So many memories,  I will never forget being 11 years old and him teaching me on the runway at Picosa how to drive a stick shift vehicle. He sat there for laps and laps until I got it right with a smile the entire time, never got mad when I stalled it, but always made me try again. Can’t not think about him when I stall one to this day.   I haven’t been able to pass down how to drive a manual vehicle yet, but I have been able to try and show Colt what Grandad taught me about throwing a football.  Playing in the backyard and getting the wind knocked out of me from trying to catch a football he threw is something not many can relate to.  He taught me how to throw a spiral, Colt knows how to because of him.  Love Grandad and miss him so much

One of my favorite memories of my Grandfather is picking acorns in his backyard with my brother and going on boat rides in the evenings and eating at The Pier restaurant on Lake Austin. He was such a genuine man, always happy and joking with everyone. I am so glad he got to meet my son just 2 weeks before he passed away. He will be dearly missed and I will lovingly tell my son all about his great grandfather when he is older and the wonderful man he was. Love you Granddad, Love you Mimi 

Sending our deepest and most heartfelt condolences on Jim's passing.  What a wonderful son, husband, father, and grandfather he was.  I have nothing but great memories of his positive and jovial personality while growing up.  He opened the door for me well after midnight at his house when I was separated from the other girls before our sleepover.  He wasn't too happy but he let it go with just a 'don't ever let this happen again'! I never let it happen again :-)    I know there are so many wonderful memories to fill your hearts over this time of grief and may they all give you comfort and peace.  Love to all the family and I will miss Jim's presence on this earth.

Family, especially Dale, my thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I have only happy, positive memories of Jim. All he put up with when us junior high and later high school girls invaded their home for sleep overs. And even later invading their lake house for skiing. I remember being with Bekki and Jim and Dale when I was introduced to The Pier and Esters Follies!  The Pier was a short boat ride from their home or a bit of a harrowing, winding drive from 2244(?).  Always so fun, with a smile on his face and interested in our lives.   I feel certain you will be comforted by all the great moments and memories.  Love and hugs to all.
