Both his father and grandfather, Oscar Henry Haynes, Sr. (1888–1969), served as sheriff of Webster Parish. O.H., Sr., was in office from 1933–1952; O. H. Haynes, Jr., from 1964-1980. Haynes was named "Freddie" for his mother and "Lynn" for his maternal grandmother, Lynn Burns Walker (1889–1971). Haynes' father was also the Esso (later Exxon) distributor in Webster Parish.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“We have been told over and over about the importance of bonding to our children. Rarely do we hear about the skill of letting go, or, as one parent said, “that we raise our children to leave us.” Early childhood, as our kids gain skills and eagerly want some distance from us, is a time to build a kind of adult-child balance which permits both of us room.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion (20th century)
“There are two births: the one when light
First strikes the new awakened sense;
The other when two souls unite,
And we must count our life from thence,
When you loved me and I loved you,
Then both of us were born anew.”
—William Cartwright (1611–1643)
