On 18 June 1942, while participating in aerial gunnery practice over the Hawaiian Islands, his F4F-4 "Wildcat" fighter lost a wing and crashed at sea, killing him instantly. His body was not recovered.
He was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for his "capable and aggressive leadership" in the battle of Midway, which enabled his attack group to "maintain continuous flight over enemy naval units, thereby assuring our dive bombers an unmolested a approach."
A U.S. Navy destroyer was named in his honor, U.S.S. Rich (DE 695), which served in the D-Day invasion in support of troops landing on Utah Beach. She was sunk after striking three mines.
A second destroyer was built in the same name U.S.S. Rich (DD 820), which served through many military duties from 1944 through 1979. This included the Suez Crises, Lebanon, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, and NASA space missions.
Horace Stuart Rich served in WW 2.

Volume 8, No. 3, September 1999On Monday July 4, 1927, after a long illness, William Andrew Haskell died at his home at 517 Commonwealth Avenue, Newton Center, Massachusetts, USA. He was the son of the late William A. and Mary (Coburn) Haskell of Boston. A close friend of Mark A. Hanna, vice president of the New York and New England Railroad, he was associated with railroad pioneering throughout the country.
Mr. Haskell was educated in Boston and went as a young man with the Bell Telephone Company to Canada, where he spent about ten years establishing the telephone system in remote districts. Following the death of his father, Mr. Haskell returned to Boston where he resided until the time of his death.
In 1901 he married Miss Josephine S. Sterry, who died in 1916. Two years later he married Miss Margaret L. Barry of Newton Center, who survives him, as do two children, William A. Haskell, Jr., and Miss Margaret Haskell. Mr. Haskell's brother, Coburn Haskell, who died in 1922, invented the Haskell golf ball and was a well known sportsman.
Coburn Haskell of Cleveland, Ohio, was a dental surgeon and an avid golfer. He invented and patented the modern golf ball which has a core of wound rubber instead of the former gutta-percha core. The Haskell golf ball was patented 11 April 1899, and he then organized the Haskell Golf Ball Company which revolutionized the manufacture and design of golf balls. Because of its greater distance, the Haskell ball reduced scores and helped to increase the popularity of golf. The Haskell company was sold to other companies, including the A. G. Spalding Co.
Coburn was also known as a lover of music and art and collector of books.
His death date is from the Ohio Death Certificate Index 1913-1927, Certificate No. 62609. An alternate death date is 14 December 1922.
