MR. Haynes
Walter and Cindy retired here in E Texas.
He enjoyed fishing with Connie Vaughn in Bullard Tx.\
He was a regular player at the ETSGA an a friend to all of us there who met him. He was one of the best people that you would ever want to meet.
He charmed us all with his music and personallity.
God love him.

I'm absolutely heartbroken to hear this.
I've only known Walter a few months from the chatroom
but he has become an inspiration to us all.
Prayers and condolences to the family.

From the East Texas Steel Guitar Association, of which Walter was a memeber, we feel a great loss. Our condolences to Cindy and family. Walter was able to play for us twice in 2008. Not only was he a great musician, but one of the nicest individuals I have ever met. We visited Walter and Cindy in their home in Bullard, and were treated like royalty. What great people, and a huge loss to the Steel Guitar world. Cindy, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Prayers for Walter & Family
I just signed on this evening and saw this sad post...My heart is heavy. I had just sent Walter one of my wrenches and he was gracious in accepting the gift. He even sent me his home ph# to call him. May God rest his soul and my prayers go out to the Haynes Family. I just lost my Dad December 19th and this is another Great we've lost. Carl

I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Haynes but from what I read, he was very influentual to the steel guitar and it's popularity. The Tennessean published a good article about him today and here is the link. He will be missed.

Walt and I spent a lot of time on stage and in the studio in East Texas and East Tennessee. He certainly did love these Smoky Mountains where he was born. He was a great friend to me and will be greatly missed!
Here are some clips of his great playing.

RIP Walter Haynes
Walter will be truly missed, I never knew him like many of you. Our paths never crossed, I only knew as a producer that produced Jeanie Pruett and Cal Smith. A great man that will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out his family.
