The Macon Telegraph (Macon, Georgia)
George Owens Haskell III, 65, died January 1, 2006, in a single plane accident in Coweta county, Georgia. Born January 20, 1940, at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC, he was the son of the late George Owens Haskell, Jr., and the late Catherine Frances Houser Whisler.
Mr. Haskell grew up in Macon, Georgia, where he also spent much of his later life. He was a 1958 graduate of Lanier High School, where he was ROTC cadet colonel. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Emory University in 1962 with a BA degree in Philosophy, and received a degree in law from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville in 1965. He also studied at Harvard Summer School, the Goethe Institute, and the University of Heidelberg in Germany.
After completing his law degree he was awarded a Maxwell Fellowship, under which he spent the year 1965-66 helping to form the new government in what was then the small African kingdom of Lesotho. Inspired by the career of a relative, the late ambassador North Winship, he entered the U.S. Foreign Service in 1967 and was assigned as a political officer to the American Consulate in Munich, Germany. During his subsequent assignment as Vice Consul at the Consulate General in Bremen, Germany, he met his wife, the former Katrin Kunze.
After his marriage in 1969, Mr. Haskell took a year's leave of absence from the Foreign Service to return to Macon and get acquainted with the chemical business his father had established. Instead of returning to his Foreign Service career, he decided to stay in Macon and raise a family there. He worked in the family business, Southern Chemical Products Company, until 1990. After the death of his father and the sale of the family business, Mr. Haskell took up the practice of law, which he has pursued for the past 15 years.
George Haskell was also very active in the Bibb County Republican Party during the seventies and eighties. He was area chairman for the campaign of then Governor Ronald Reagan in his bid for the presidency and personally received Mr. Reagan when he came to Macon
Outside of his professional career, Mr. Haskell pursued many interests, among them sculpting, hang-gliding and motorcycling. He was a black belt in tae kwan do and, more recently, had obtained his private pilot's license. His most striking characteristics were his keen and versatile intelligence, and his apparently unending desire to learn new skills and live life to the fullest. He was an authority on many subjects, including history, linguistics, and genealogy. He sang with the Macon Civic Chorale for several years and acted in plays at Theatre Macon. He was an active member of the Palaver Club. To many of those who knew him well he embodied all the characteristics of a true Renaissance man, whose unlimited curiosity and remarkable creativity enriched not only his life but also those around him.
Mr. Haskell is survived by his wife of 36 years, Katrin Kunze Haskell, of Macon; his four children, Katherine Haskell DiPaola (Michael) of Cincinnati, Ohio; Margaret Rinker (Chris), of Tampa, Florida; George Owens Haskell IV (Jennifer), of Macon; Sally Gordon Haskell, of Atlanta; stepmother, Helen Woolford Haskell; sister, Helen Haskell Blackman; sisters Kathy Whisler von Bargen and Stella Whisler Todd; brothers Eric Whisler and Val Whisler; as well as four grandchildren.
