Leon was born April 30, 1931, the second child to Gerald "Jerry" Haskell and Lola May (Mann) Haskell at Wray. For most of the first 12 years of his life, the family lived in the Beecher Island area, where he went to school for his early education. The family then moved to the Wray area where he grew into manhood. In 1951 he married Betty Critchfield. To this union three children were born: Karen Jean, Sharon Ann and Randall Leon. Leon tried farming back in the 1950s, then worked building phone lines from Kansas to Texas. He was a lineman for Highline Electric in Holyoke from 1961-1972. He married Dolores (Krogmeier) Gaskill on January 22, 1972, lived in Holyoke and operated Haskell Fertilizer Sales & Service for 25 years.
