August 15, 1999Robert K. Haskell, who won both a Bronze Star and a Legion of Merit Medal during a 31-year career in the Army, died of heart failure at his home in Santa Rosa on July 20. He was 98.
Haskell, who was born in Berkeley and lived part of his adolescence in Glen Ellen, joined the Army after his sophomore year at UC Berkeley. That same year, 1923, he got married in Santa Rosa and moved to his first posting in Tacoma, Washington. Soon the military decided to send him back to school and he received his undergraduate and master's degrees in metallurgy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
With an expertise in ordnance, Haskell helped oversee the construction of weapons factories and later became a field adviser to combat commanders. He was just 43 when promoted to the rank of colonel at the beginning of World War II. He served as a training officer before being sent into combat himself in the Pacific. It was during action in the Pacific that he was decorated with two of the Army's highest honors.
He retired from the military in 1954 and took a job in the private sector in New York. In 1963, he retired from the business world as well and built a house in the Wikiup section of Santa Rosa where he lived until recent years. He was a member of the Santa Rosa Luther Burbank Lodge, #57; and a 75-year member of the Henry A. Greene Lodge.
He is survived by his daughter, June Farrahy of Santa Rosa; granddaughters, Leslie Jensen of Hyattsville, Maryland and Jessie Rennaker of Sanger, Texas; grandson, Thomas Farrahy III of Minden, Nevada; as well as five great grandchildren.
