Milton Haynes passed away on Thursday, July 17, 2014 in Mt. Airy, NC. He was a native of Raleigh and the son of the late Alfred M. and Sara Womble Haynes. Milton attended Fred A. Olds Elementary School and Needham B. Broughton High School, graduating in 1954. While at Broughton, he was a member of the winning 1953-54 Raleigh High School basketball team. Milton entered the US Army in 1955, and served in Tank Company 3rd Battalion, 3rd Armd Cav. Regiment. He was stationed in Ft. Mead, MD., and Amberg, Germany. He drove the M48 Patton heavy tank. After completion of his military service, Milton attended UNC at Chapel Hill.
Milton was VP and Banquet Manager of Balentine's Cafeteria, in Raleigh, for 37 years. He held each employee and customer in high esteem as they did him. Milton received much joy from his mountain home in Todd, NC, the Carolina Hurricanes, and his Scottie and Westie dogs.

In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his sister, Adelaide.
He is survived by his wife, Chase Phillips Haynes, and his sister Becky and brother-in-law David Morvil. In addition, survivors include his five children; Larry, Ann Adam and former-in-law Mark Adam, Yorke, Bill and Chris Haynes, and their mother Geri Haynes and eight grandchildren.

Dean Family,
I remember Milton from the days in Wilmington, when I worked for the Wilmington Board of Realtors and we had our monthly meetings at Balentines.
I just read the article about Milton in the News & Observer today.
Best regards,

I have fond memories of Mr. Haynes and Balentine's Cafeteria. I lived in the Cameron Village neighborhood, so we spent quite a bit of time eating at Balentine's. My father even "moonlighted" as a bartender for private events. Mr. Haynes was indeed a true gentleman. We shared some wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with the Haynes family.
