Robert Haines was wary of the weather. He had been watching the storm closely from his Memorial-area home, calling his son with updates. On the night of Aug. 27, however, he left two voice messages for his son, Kirby Haines, saying that 2 feet of water had risen inside his home. By the next morning, he couldn’t be reached by phone and the inundated neighborhood was inaccessible. A Houston Police Department dive team recovered his body in 4 feet of water in his home on Sept. 8. Haines, a twin, was raised on a farm in Alanson, Mich. He was a Vietnam veteran and grandfather who retired from his work as a financial adviser in 2011, his son said. Haines’ husband, Kyle Fredricks Haines, was not at home when the storms hit. By the time he got back, it was too late. “He was an outstanding man,” Fredricks Haines said. “I’m so glad that he was able to see gay marriage within his lifetime because we always talked about that.” Haines home photographed Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017, in Houston.( Steve Gonzales / Houston Chronicle )
