​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Lance Haynes​​

​June 29, 2024- East HS

​

    One of best ways to share the news about Lance's death is to include what he wrote about one of his Illahee friends and fellow 1957 EHS grad, Art Henning, in 2011.

​    “He (Art) was the best and always a starter. We used to play basketball at his house on a half-dirt court with Kenny Dodd, Norm Cox and Don Simmons in our fun little "resort town" of Illahee, WA. Sure feel bad about Art passing.”

Lance was aptly described as a "character," a description he enjoyed.  

    He studied engineering at the UW and spent the later part of his career as owner/operator of an antique rental car service in San Diego, CA. Larry Haynes, his twin brother, died in 2013.  He is survived by two children. ​
