Haywood S. Stanley

The ship left its mooring in Baltimore, Maryland and sailed swiftly out to sea, on Monday, May 23, 2011 with CAPTAIN HAYWOOD SANDERS STANLEY at the helm, on a journey of unchartered waters. Haywood set his course and retired for the night. He was awakened by a voice which he recognized, for it was Jesus saying, “Stand still Haywood! Do not be afraid, take my hand your work here on earth is complete and your previous orders have been rescinded. I saw you when you were ailing and I have known of your pain for a lone time; but I have come to take you to a place where you shall never have pain again. I am taking you home to be with God.” By the previous paragraphs you must know by now that Haywood’s bright eyes twinkled with his warm and radiant personality. He dropped his head and gave up the ghost and departed his life on Monday, May 23, 2011 at the Northwest Hospital in Randallstown, Maryland. Haywood Sanders Stanley, was born in Beaufort, North Carolina on December 1, 1939 to the late Haywood Sanders Russell Stanley and Carrie S. Cuffie. Haywood’s family relocated to Baltimore Maryland where Haywood attended the Baltimore City Public School System. Haywood worked at the Department of Public Works Solid Waste as a driver at the North West yard on Sisson Street, Baltimore, Maryland for thirty years. He was affectionately called Duck by all who knew and loved him. He loved to show off his cooking skills, his favorite dish was mixed pork pot. Duck loved to go fishing, spending time with his family, being home and traveling to North Carolina. Las Vagas was a favorite trip especially to visit his sister-in-law, beryl. All you had say was trip and he wanted to know where. If you said Midway, he said ok let me get my ticket! He loved all seafood with crabs being the most favorite. He leaves to cherish fond memories: a loving wife, Avis; a son, Anthony Barnes; sister, Virgie Clark, (two sisters, Lelia Thompson and Hazel Wilson preceded him in death); two brothers, Clifford Hazel and Nathaniel Carter (two brothers, Lonnie Cherry and Joseph Carter preceded him in death); mother-in-law, Evangeline C. Pearson; father-in-law, James Pearson all of Baltimore; sister-in-law, Beryl Cooper of Las Vegas; two brother-in-law, Jock and Donn Pearson; a host of many relatives and friends, including a special dear friend, Bob Owens.
