Beautiful person he was.
I remember not to long ago, my uncle Big Anthony came over to my Aunt Marguerittes home and saw my brother and I. We wanted ice cream so bad but our aunt didn't have any. He gave me and Isaiah 50 dollars each and said "go get yourself some ice cream." He was truly a kind soul who gave so much to make others happy. I will miss you and never forget you. Save us a seat up in heaven!
REV. ANTHONY HAYNES WILL TRUELY BE MISSSED THE ENTIRE TEAM AT THE BRODGETON ALDI SENDS OUR condolences to his family he will truly be missed he always knew how to brigthen up our day he was an incredible man
My sincere condolences to the Haynes family. I worked with Anthony at Ancora until I retired 15 years ago. I have forgotten most of the people I worked with, but not Anthony he made a lasting impression, so I was delighted to run into him again several times over the past year. I was impressed that he still had that bubbly personality I remember from Ancora. Although I had little official reason to interact with him there, it didn't stop him from coming around frequently for a friendly, uplifting, chat. I would make my day. I will miss him and my prayers are with him.

I was so deeply saddened to hear of Anthony’s passing. The Ancora community has lost a vibrant constant presence that can never be replaced. He was such a great mentor and inspiration to staff and strongest most tenacious champion to our consumers. My heartfelt condolences to Margueritte and the Haynes family that you must bear this tragic loss. Praying for your comfort and peace. Diane (Goodfellow) Hargrove
My sincere condolences to the Haynes family. I worked with Anthony for 25 years I had the privilege of spending precious time with him. He was always a gentleman filled with such joy and compassion. Our conversations were wonderful and expressed our desire to make sure our patients were treated with dignity and respect. His warm smile and words of love is who this spirited man was. He touched the hearts of many many people. He was always available to help patients and staff and did so with sincerity and total caring. He will definitely be missed and I pray that he Rest In Peace. He is with the Lord and he was a gift from God My prayers are with his family as they are dealing with heavy hearts. Always remember what a truly faithful man he is and was. His spirit will remain in my heart and all those lives that were touched by this wonderful husband father co worker and friend. I was totally Blessed to have him in my life. God Bless him and his family at this oh so sad time. With prayers and blessing. Linda Forshaw.
I am deeply saddened by Anthony's passing, or as I liked to call him, "Mr. Haynes" I had the privilege, albeit brief, of knowing this great person while being the interim Independent Psychiatrist for the IMAR hearings at Ancora. I had first met Anthony about 2 years ago. Though I only saw him weekly over the past several months, he treated me like a pupil, a son, a physician, and most importantly, like a human being who mattered. He and I connected. He was an empathic, knowledgeable, and extremely engageable person. His sense of humor left me in stitches! His office was like an oasis. What a great place to sit and chat and just shut out the world for a while! I can only imagine the magnitude of his loss for his family, colleagues, friends, and his patients who knew him for a much longer time than me. His advice and mentorship will be forever ingrained in my heart. His friendship will remain with me for the rest of my life. In Yiddish, there is a word to describe a special person; mensch. It means, "A person of integrity and honor." Reverend Anthony Haynes Sr. was such a person. A true mensch.
