Mr. Edison Haynes Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Edison Alphonso Haynes, familiarly known as Eddie, was born in Barbados on February 27, 1933 to the late Sidney Harewood and Mildred Haynes. He grew up in Barbados and worked at Emtage Electrical Company before embarking on another work adventure as a Seaman. Eddie was not averse to working as this was his means of providing for his family, and family provision was the goal he lived by. When he emigrated to the United Stated he worked as an Electrical Engineer at Mount Sinai Hospital until his retirement. Eddie worked hard to make sure his family was well taken care of. As a Seaman, Eddie travelled to different parts of the world and visited several Caribbean islands, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States. He would always say that he has visited more places than we would ever visit. As children we have the wonderful memories of his return home from at sea as he always came back loaded with barrels of goodies from these countries. In whatever month he came home it was like Christmas that month. Eddie was a man of few words but a man with a strong personality. He did not openly express his feelings but he demonstrated his love in ways that only his family and close friends understood. He loved his family and was always willing to help them in any way he could. When his children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren would tell him “I love you” he would respond with “Right, right, right” and that was his way of say “I love you too”. He was not a perfect man but he was always available whenever his family or friends needed him. Eddie did not go to church with his wife but at home he would be next to her listening to the services on the television. As he continued in life and as the years progressed he came to the realization of his need for God and of God’s love for him and accepted Jesus as his Savior. Edison Haynes is preceded in death by his wife Monica Harding Haynes, also his brothers Chesterfield Harewood, Leonard Harewood, Joseph Alleyne and his sister Aminto Alleyne.
