Frank Haskell, 93, co-founder of Barbara's Friends, died on Wednesday, July 19.

Through his efforts, Barbara's Friends raised $25 million to support more than 10,000 children at Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida and its cancer fund.

"Without Frank Haskell, the achievements we've made to advance pediatric cancer care in Southwest Florida would not be possible," said Dr. Emad Salman, Golisano Children's Hospital Vice President and Chief Physician Executive of Children's Services. "Frank was committed from the moment I met him to making a difference. He has saved the lives of thousands of children, forever impacting their families and our community. His passion and tenacity and humor will be missed. Frank was a true champion and friend to all children."

Haskell retired in 1987 and relocated to Southwest Florida after a successful career at Burroughs Corporation in Boston and Moore Business Systems in Dallas. He joined the development board for Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida in 1991.

Haskell founded Barbara's Friends with his late wife Betty in 1995, starting the fund in memory of their daughter Barbara, who died at age 36 after a battle with cancer. Before Barbara died, she asked her parents to do more to help children fighting cancer, so they didn't have to suffer. The original goal was to raise $100,000 with the fund in her name.

The Barbara's Friends Medical Library was established at HealthPark Medical Center in 1998. Barbara's Friends Pediatric Hematology Oncology Center on the fifth floor of HealthPark opened in 1999 to serve children until Golisano Children's Hospital was built in 2017. The Barbara's Friends permanent endowment was established in 2002.

Haskell and former Boston Red Sox president John Harrington also founded the golf tournament in 1994 that has raised $15 million to date for programs at Golisano Children's Hospital. Haskell's ties to the Red Sox started in 1993 when he was hired by the team to operate the scoreboard at the Red Sox former spring training home at City of Palms Park. He was honored by the Red Sox at Fenway Park on his 80th birthday.

In 2016, Lee Health Foundation established The Frank Haskell Humanitarian Award in his honor to recognize outstanding leadership in the advancement of quality health care for the citizens of Southwest Florida.

Haskell helped establish Barbara's Friends scholarships in 2020 that are awarded annually to high school students who are childhood cancer or blood disorder survivors. So far, seven students have received scholarships.

Barbara's Friends funding also helped create Palmer the Turtle stuffed animals, coloring books and medical books, designed to entertain, comfort and educate cancer patients and their families. In March, the Haskell family donated the Haskell Total Immersion Room in Frank's honor at the Naples pediatric hematology oncology clinic, the only one in the country, offering children receiving chemotherapy and infusions a totally immersive virtual reality escape during treatment.

In Haskell's honor, Barbara's Friends will continue to advocate for children with cancer in Southwest Florida, by raising funds to support exceptional care at Golisano Children's Hospital.

Lois Ann (Easson) Haskell     February 28, 1931 - January 23rd, 2019
Lois Ann (Easson) Haskell (87) died of natural causes January 23rd, 2019 in Coos Bay, Oregon.  Lois lived until recently at Harbor Village on Bay Blvd., in Newport, Oregon.  She and her husband Bob (who passed in 2014) made that spot their home since retiring in 2000.  They always cherished their good luck to be living on the Oregon Coast, appreciating the fact that anytime they came back from the valley (especially in the summer), feeling the hot valley air become suddenly cool and inviting.  They also loved seeing the ocean as they crested the hill on Hwy 20 just coming into Newport, knowing they were almost home, always thankful and feeling blessed.
Lois and Bob made a life in Newport making friends and volunteering at the local library, the Aquarium Hospice, and helped start the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI).  Whether enjoying the sunset with family at the south jetty watching the fishing boats come in, appreciating the many sea birds, or watching seals feeding on the schools of pacific herring coming into the bay, or just the chance sighting of a pod of dolphins heading back out to sea, they never took the pleasures of living on the coast for granted and enjoyed sharing their favorite spots with visiting family and friends.  Lois was not a valley girl and was able to spend the last of her days knowing the love of her family and that, too, the ocean she loved was right nearby.
Lois Ann Easson was born on February 28, 1931 in Wakefield, Massachusetts and grew up in Melrose, Massachusetts with her loving parents Margaret and William and two sisters Marcia and Andie.  Lois married Robert Haskell in Melrose, Massachusetts in 1950 and they soon started a family having 4 children, losing the last child at birth.  A change of course and career brought the family with 3 small children west by train to start a new life in California settling in San Jose.  After 10 years with the kids now in their teens, and again seeking new opportunities, the family picked up and moved to Beaverton, Oregon.  In the years that followed they lived for a time in Kelso, Washington (when nearby Mt. St. Helens erupted) but ended up back in Oregon working as property managers in the valley eventually retiring to the coast they so much loved.
Lois is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Cathy and Andy Walker of Corvallis, Oregon; her son and daughter-in-law Richard Haskell and Wendy Haack of North Bend, Oregon; her son David Haskell of Tucson, AZ; as well as her sister Andy Phillips of Crossett, Arkansas, and her sister Marcia Martin of Melrose, Mass.
As they requested, Lois's and Bob's ashes will be scattered at their favorite spot on the cliffs over-looking the Pacific Ocean.
