Born on April 28, 1948 in Lewistown, Mifflin County, he was a son of the late Lloyd Woodrow and Fay Romaine (Hoverter) Haines.

On Aug. 28, 1971, he married his late wife, Virginia R. (Ard) Haines, with whom he was blessed to share more than 49 years of marriage before her passing on March 3, 2021.

He is survived by one daughter, Kimberly A. Dressler and her husband Eric of McAlisterville; two granddaughters, McKala Ehrenzeller and her husband Nathan and Madison Dressler-Hess and her husband Justin; two great-grandchildren; two stepsons, Barry Landis and his wife Jeanie of McAlisterville and Rick Landis and his wife Gayle of Mifflintown; six step grandchildren, Tammy Marshall and her husband Paul, Scott Landis and his wife Mandy, Brad Landis and his wife Lindsey, Tyler Landis and his wife Staci, Mike Landis and his wife Brenda, and Brett Landis; and 12 step great- grandchildren.

Mr. Haines was a 1966 graduate of East Juniata High School in Cocolamus and for most of his working career was a self employed carpenter.

He was a lifetime member of the Juniata County Sportsmen's Association and was a member of Camp Coble.

Charlie was an avid hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed woodworking and camping; however, his greatest joy came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
