Richard "Dick" Ray Haynes

Richard “Dick” Ray Haynes of Bloomington, Indiana passed away peacefully at IU Health Hospice House with his wife and daughters by his side on July 13, 2024, at the age of 92. Despite mild cognitive impairment, Richard lived a full and happy life with the support of his family. Richard was born in Washington, Indiana on January 19, 1932. He graduated from Washington High School. He began his higher education at Butler University where he was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. His education was put on pause to proudly serve for four years in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. Upon completion of his military service, he continued his education at Indiana University while working full-time at Sullivan’s Clothing Store. He received a B.S. in Business in 1959. Richard married the love of his life, Betty McCauley, on January 25, 1959; they were married 65 loving years. Richard worked at Workingmens Federal Savings and Loan for 37 years. He began as a loan officer and worked diligently into the role of President/CEO and Chairman of the Board. It truly gave him joy helping others fulfill the dream of home ownership. He became an expert in the field of real estate appraising and earned the MAI designation. He respectively served on many professional boards and committees; he was selected twice to testify before the House Banking Committee in Washington, D.C. on strategies for managing a sound thrift institution, which was a great professional honor. He was elected by his peers to serve as Chairman of the Indiana League of Savings Institutions. He was honored to be selected as a board member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. He was also involved in Suburban Kiwanis Club, and a member of First Presbyterian Church (in both Englewood, Florida and Bloomington). Richard enjoyed golf, fishing, and long walks, but spending time with family and friends was at the core of his happiness. He and Betty wintered in Englewood, Florida where he could pursue his passion of golf year-round, fishing and boating in beautiful Lemon Bay. He once wrote, “To my children and grandchildren, please know you have been the light of our lives.” He was the portrait of an amazing “Girl Dad.” Richard is survived by his beloved wife Betty, daughter Beth (David and son Scott) Haeberle, Amy (daughter Katie and son Michael) Hull, and Kathy (Brad and son Max) Klosinski, sister Barbara Dearmin, brothers Bill, Ken (wife Brenda), George Haynes, and many special extended family and friends.

Remember, success is not always the newest car, the biggest home, or the most money in the bank. Success is felt in the heart. Be content. Love each other. Nothing is more important than family. Be faithful to God. He sent His Son into the world as a demonstration of His love.” -Written by Richard R. Haynes, 2016
