Haley attended Merigold School. After leaving, he joined the United States Army and served in WWII. He met the love of his life, Frances, and they married on October 12, 1946.

Haley’s faith in Jesus Christ guided his life on a daily basis. Along with spending time with his family, singing in church and quartets brought him laughter and happiness.

Haley also loved watching Ole Miss and New Orleans Saints football, as well as the Atlanta Braves games.

The most important structures in Haley’s life were his family and his love for God. His desire was to share the love of Jesus in his relationships and with his community. He will leave a lasting legacy of faith and love for his loved ones.
