Jerry Haynes, 'Mr. Peppermint,' dies at 84 | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth: Few broadcasters had a bigger impact on North Texas than Jerry Haynes, who has died at age 84.

He died Monday morning at a nursing facility in Longview from complications due to Parkinson's Disease with family at his side.

"I helped raise families you know," Haynes said in a 2008 interview with News 8. "So, I was in people's living rooms every day as they were getting dressed and eating their cereal. So I'm a buddy. They saw me. I didn't see them."

I remember him well from Dallas Bandstand.
