He was a butcher for Cut Rate Grocery and Thriftway Grocery in Dumas for many years. Rabbit was employed by Continental Carbon/Whitco for 40 years. After his retirement, he started a lawn mowing service and maintained that for many years. He was an avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting, fishing and camping. He and Cotton Lamb spent countless hours hunting game of all sorts, fishing and riding 4 wheelers on the Canadian River, and many trips in their RVs. One of his favorite things was to go to the mountains (Eagle Nest/Red River) with his family to camp and fish. We all took several of these trips together as a family. He loved his grandkids and great grandkids, being able to teach them about the outdoors, and how to work hard for what you want. The short time he spent with Doyle and Deanie in Fort Worth, he was able to see and do lots of firsts. He was able to attend a Dallas Cowboys Game, a Texas Rangers Game, and a Dallas Stars Game. We took him fishing, and he loved to be able to get into the pool. It made him feel like a kid again! Most of all, he loved his family, he loved having cookouts with us all and just spending time with us all. He was preceded in death by his parents, one son: Randall Charles Haire age 16; his wife of 30 years: Judy Ann Jameson Haire; 2nd wife of 20 years; Marilyn Gillispie Haire. Rabbit is survived by one brother: Pat Ham and wife Toni of Kalama, WA; daughter: LaDonna (Deanie) Wells and husband Doyle Wells of Fort Worth; son: Robert (Bobbie) Haire and his husband Richard Miller of Dumas; 3 grandchildren: Kristen Wells Homsombath and husband Kevin of Fort Worth, Brenten Wells and wife Hannah of Amarillo and Bevany Haire of Dumas; 4 great grandsons: Kane, Saevan, Shane and Cameron.
