HAYNES
1933 - 2016
Bud Haynes of Red Deer passed away peacefully with family by his side at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at the age of 82 years following emergency surgery. Bud, the last of eight children, was born in a log cabin at Buck Lake, AB and named Harry Raymond. Soon he was called "Buddy" and then "Bud", the name he proudly carried for the rest of his life. Losing his father at the age of three, Bud was raised by his mother, Elizabeth. Bud's mom took him to Edmonton to his first auction and taught him how to "buy on the dealer's eyes", instilling a lifelong love of auctions. At the age of seventeen, Bud survived a near fatal motorcycle accident and then went on the fulfill many of his dreams including racing cars and motorcycles, and owning his own Cab at nineteen. Bud always loved to be his own boss! Bud started guiding and outfitting, buying and selling horses, and then became a guard at the Nordegg Minimum Security Jail where Bud met a fellow guard who would change his life. Given Bud was an avid reader, he read some on how to become an Auctioneer. Bud taught himself selling by practicing into a tape recorder as he could not afford to attend auction school in the United States. Bud earned his first dollar as an Auctioneer selling for the Daines family in Innisfail and soon after opened Red Deer Auction where they often had three house hold auctions a week and in the process, taught his wife Dot to sell. After starting Bud Haynes & Co., (a family ran business that included the family dog Suzy), Bud would see his business become the first and largest firearms auction in Canada. Bud received many awards in his life. Some of his proudest moments were being an instructor at Canada's first school of auction, being invited along with his daughter Linda to sell at Christies in London, England, helping to start Rock Island Auction in the USA ( the largest firearms auction company in the World ) and the merging with another second generation family ran business, Ward's Auction of Edmonton. Bud's family was extremely proud of him for having celebrated his 50th year as an Auctioneer earlier this year. Bud and Dot enjoyed traveling, camping and fishing with their family. Bud was a proud Grandpa, never missing a hockey or Lacrosse game or a practice and even cheering the granddaughters on at Ukrainian Dance competitions. Bud is survived by his wife of 57 years Dot Haynes; daughters Linda (Jim) Baggaley, Rae (Fred) Carswell; grandchildren Kyle, Thomas, Alayne, and Katey as well as numerous extended family members and many friends made over the years. Bud was predeceased by his parents, Jack & Elizabeth; brothers Ike (Norma) and Johnny; sisters Jayne, Gladys (Tom), Irene, Eve (John ) and Gwen (Len). Not only was Bud a wonderful husband, father and grandfather (Papa) but he also touched many people's lives and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. A service to celebrate Bud's life will be held at CrossRoads Church, (SW Corner of 32 Street and Highway 2), 38105 Range Road 275, Red Deer County, AB on Wednesday, July 27, 2016 at 1:00 p.m..
