Our Daughter was the same age as Gibby and went to the same Kindergarden. How delightful for our daughter when Mr. Peppermint drove the children. He was especially kind the day President Kennedy was killed. He told the children their Mothers would have a
surprise for them when he let them out of the car. All three children watched the show and Doris they remember you taking them over the bumps in the road. So happy you were a part of our lives. Our sincerest sympathy to all. ...

I worked with Jerry at WFAA-TV in the early 1970's. I was young and Jerry went out of his way to help me feel comfortable in that big city newsroom environment. Please know that he was an inspiration and great friend to me.

Gibby and Family-
How I missed this news of Jerry's death too late to attend the Memorial Saturday is SO frustrating -- but my thoughts and condolences are with you all today. News reached me this morning via a Woodrow Wilson email blast.
Jerry was ALWAYS kind and warm and interested in me and my family, and touched so many of us growing up in Lake Highlands. He was and will remain a SPECIAL part of my development and life as a young person. What a Dad!!! What a Man!!!

To the Friends and Family of Jerry "Mr. Peppermint" Haynes:
Even as an adult I enjoyed watching his show and having a great giggle! His show was always refreshing and entertaining.
Every time Mother and I went to Luby's Cafeteria on Mockingbird Lane, I would scan the cafeteria to see if he was there. Several times I had the pleasure of going to his table and chatting with him and his lovely wife for a few moments.
Few may remember him in "The Fantastics." I...

Dear Haynes family and all of Jerry's Dallas area friends...certainly we remember Mr. Peppermint as kids in the 50's. Growing up in Oak Cliff, all of us kids watched every days. It was nice to see Jerry in several other TVshowes over the years. He is certainly a lifetime memory for me.

Soft spoken, always smiling Jerry Haynes was a real Tribute to his
Profession. Channel 8 can be proud of the many friends that "Mr.Peppermint" "raised" for the Station. Proudly, my two children appeared on his Program twice each and had a great time.
Jerry was my friend and he will be missed by so many. But he left a Legacy of love and caring............which we all appreciate!
May God Bless Jerry and the Family.
