I worked with Haywood for about 9 years, little did I know when I met him how close of a friend he would become. As it turned out we were neighbors as well I only lived a couple if doors down from him and he would often come visit and share rides to work with me. Haywood was one of the most selfless people I have ever met,he worked so hard to provide for his loving wife and family..I'm sure gonna miss my buddy. Stevo

Haywood was one of the best men I ever have had the honor of working with. His work ethic was second to none. He always put his family first and was an inspiration to me. He was loved by all that new him and I feel blessed that I was able to know him for the few years that I was here. He will be missed by so many and my Prayers go out to his wife. Dale Jaureguy
