• Notes

  The Seattle Times EDWIN L. HASKELL, 77, DIES; HE PUT FAMILY FIRST Edwin Lockwood Haskell measured success by the quality of the time he spent with family. By that standard, his success was great. He not only worked 22 years as a mechanical contractor in the family business, the Haskell Corp., and 18 more years with Sellen Construction, but he also managed to take his family skiing, fishing and hunting as often as he could. In retirement, he rarely missed a chance to attend a sporting event in which any of his 13 grandchildren took part. "He taught us to ski up on Mount Baker, and wouldn't let us use rope tows," said his daughter, Jane Sonntage of North Andover, Mass. "He wanted us to learn how to do things on our own and was very supportive when we learned. We went hunting with him, too. "We girls even learned the mysteries of plumbing at an early age, so in all his activities he included us. He thought girls could do anything boys could do, and was a man ahead of his time in that respect. His work and life were an extension of his love for us." Mr. Haskell died Saturday, Nov. 9, after suffering a stroke. He was 77. Born in Bellingham, Mr. Haskell earned a bachelor's degree in engineering in 1942 at the University of Washington. He worked as a mechanical engineer for his father before and after graduation, in Bremerton and Everett. When the firm began to focus on work in Alaska, Mr. Haskell remained in the Seattle area to be near family, becoming a mechanical engineer with the Sellen contracting firm, and involving himself in Elks and Lions Club work. Other survivors include Mr. Haskell's wife of 54 years, Mary Haskell; his children Edwin R. Haskell, Susan Young, and Nancy Erickson, all of Edmonds; Margaret Smith, Naples, Italy; and Patricia Haskell, Seattle; and his brother, F. Murray Haskell, Bellingham.
