July 12, 2012Linda Mace Haskell, 70, of Amherst, NH, loving wife, mother, grandmother and close and trusted friend to many, passed away on July 6, 2012 in Merrimack, NH after a brief battle with breast cancer. Born Linda Boyd Mace (named after her Great-Grandfather, Lynn Boyd Porter of Cambridge, MA, noted author and journalist) on April 27, 1942 to Morrill Atwell Mace and Virginia Porter Haynes Mace, Linda grew up in Darien, CT and Fayetteville NY and graduated from Cazenovia College in Cazenovia, NY. Linda married Philip Tower Haskell on August 26, 1967 in Darien, CT.
Linda was a talented artist who loved photography, oil painting (studying under Anne Colby Hines), and rug hooking (studying under Gail Waldon) among other arts and crafts. She often incorporated floral scenes and fond New England landscapes into her work. She enjoyed spending summers with friends and loved ones on Lake Winnipesaukee at the family cottage on Barndoor Island. Ever since the cottage was built in 1978, Linda would not let visitors leave the island until she took their picture. Each year she would put the previous summer's guest photos in a frame and hang it on the wall of the cottage. No one wanted their picture taken at the time, but everyone loved seeing photos from the previous years - a tradition which continues.
Linda was a very caring person and always generous with her time. She was an active member of PEO, supporting women's education, and a founding member of the Souhegan Christian Church, now combined with the Household of Faith, both in Amherst, NH.
In addition to her husband, Philip Tower Haskell, Linda is survived by the pride of her life, her two sons, Stephen Morrill Haskell of Waitsfield, VT, and Craig Tower Haskell of Durham, NH, and their wives Katherine Duane Haskell and Susan Webster Haskell.

ALESSANDRO DE TOMASO
Nationality: Argentina
Date of birth: July 10, 1928 - Buenos Aires
Born into a well known and powerful Argentine family in 1928, de Tomaso raced in his home country in the early 1950s but fled Argentina in his own airplane in 1955 to escape persecution from Juan Peron's regime. He settled in Modena, hoping to make a name for himself as a racing driver. He talked his way into a job as a mechanic at Maserati and soon became a driver. Not long afterwards he met and married American heiress Isabelle Haskell, a Ferrari customer who raced the cars in the United States and together they decided to set up their own racing car company in Modena. While this was being established he enjoyed some success with OSCA (which had been established by the Maserati brothers after they sold Maserati to the Orsi Family). He raced to ninth place in the 1957 Argentine Grand Prix in a Scuderia Centro Sud Ferrari 500/625. Two years later he retired from the US Grand Prix at Sebring in a Cooper-OSCA. At the end of that season he retired from racing and began to build up DeTomaso Automobili SpA to build road cars. The company produced a variety of racing cars in the early 1960s beginning with an F2 car which appeared in the hands of Roberto Bussinello at Modena. It crashed heavily but reappeared the following year as an F1 car. He hired ex-Maserati engine designer Alberto Massimino to design a flat eight engine and the de Tomaso cars were seen from time to time until end of 1965. The de Tomaso cars enjoyed a limited amount of success in the junior formulae with Mario Casoni winning at Caserta and a young Clay Regazzoni racing for the team. The company began producing road cars in the late 1960s and in an effort to advertise the company de Tomaso decided to have another attempt at Formula 2 and hired Giampaolo Dallara, a Lamborghini road car engineer, to design an F2 car for 1969. This was run by an ambitious young team owner called Frank Williams and was raced by Jonathan Williams, Jacky Ickx and Piers Courage. Williams and de Tomaso then did a deal to enter F1 in 1970 with Courage, Cosworth engines and a Dallara-designed chassis. Courage finished third in the International Trophy and was running seventh in the Dutch Grand Prix when he crashed and died in Holland. The team continued until the end of the year with drivers Brian Redman and Tim Schenken but then withdrew.The de Tomaso car company enjoyed some success with the Pantera model and was able to buy up a number of bankrupt engineering companies including the Benelli and Moto Guzzi motorcycle companies and the Innocenti car firm. In 1975 de Tomaso put together a rescue package to buy Maserati and tried to revive it. This was a success and in 1993 he sold the firm to FIAT and went back to running De Tomaso. Not long afterwards he had a stroke. The company was taken over by his son Santiago under the guidance of his wife Isabelle.

May 24, 2003Alejandro DeTomaso, whose company produced a sports car that combined Italian flair with American horsepower, died on Wednesday in Modena, Italy. He was 74. The cause was heart failure, his family said.
In 1971, Mr. DeTomaso's company, DeTomaso Automobili, based in Modena, began selling the Pantera, a sports car with the sleek, angular profile of a jet fighter, which had a Ford V-8 placed behind the two-seat passenger compartment. Mr. DeTomaso built the car after being approached by Lee A. Iacocca, then president of the Ford Motor Co., who a few years earlier had helped create another populist sports car, the Mustang. Ford, which had failed in an attempt to buy Ferrari, wanted a high-performance European car for its showrooms.
The Pantera was sold in the United States by Lincoln-Mercury dealers. Although it cost more than twice as much as a typical sedan, it was also less than half the price of a Ferrari, Maserati or similar limited-production Italian sports cars of the time, making it an exotic car accessible to the middle-class buyer.
As many as 6,000 Panteras were sold before Ford ended the arrangement in 1974 because safety and emissions laws would have required a major redesign of the car. Mr. DeTomaso continued to make the car through the 1990s, selling it in countries other than the United States.
Mr. DeTomaso was born on July 10, 1928, in Buenos Aires to parents prominent in Argentine politics and agriculture. In 1955, he fled Argentina to avoid the wrath of Juan Peron. He moved to Modena, where he raced cars for Maserati and OSCA, another limited-production auto maker.
Through racing, he met his second wife, Isabelle Haskell, a member of a wealthy family from Red Bank, N.J. She bought Ferraris and raced them against the world's best drivers.
In 1959, the couple formed DeTomaso Automobili, starting off by building racing cars. Their first car for public roads, the Vallelunga, had its debut in 1963. It featured an unusual backbone chassis, a central spinelike frame running the length of the car. About 60 were made.A few years later came the Mangusta, designed by the Italian stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro. It caught Iacocca's eye and led to the Pantera. The success of the Mangusta and Pantera allowed Mr. DeTomaso to acquire Maserati in 1975 and keep it running.
In the 1980s, Iacocca, then at Chrysler, again collaborated with Mr. DeTomaso to produce a Chrysler-Maserati convertible, but the car sold poorly. Mr. DeTomaso sold his controlling interest in Maserati to Fiat in 1993 and returned to his original company, but a stroke soon after required Isabelle Haskell DeTomaso and a son from his first marriage, Santiago, to take control. They continue to run the company.
He is also survived by his sons, Alessandro and Pablo, from his first marriage to Lola DeTomaso.

April 22, 2010ESSEX, Conn. � Howland B. Jones Jr., beloved husband of Betsy Jones, died peacefully in Essex, Conn., on April 18, 2010.
He was born in New York City on Oct. 21, 1919, to Howland B. Jones and Margaret Jones of New York and Rumson, N.J. Howland, known as "Jonesy," was a mechanical engineer, educated at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, N.J.
During World War II, he served in the Army Signal Corps teaching radar system analysis. At the end of the war, he shipped out to Manila where he was responsible for assembling radio components that transmitted the surrender of Japan to the mainland United States.
After the war, Jonesy worked for Reaction Motors Inc., a subcontractor to the Navy, on the development of the X-series rocket engines and continued with rocket development at the Jet Propulsion Department of Princeton University.His other accomplishments included development of one of the first backup alarms for trucks and the design and production of the first consumer tide clock. His last commercial venture was a small broadcast radio station on Cape Cod for which he installed all the equipment and later became the general manager and owner. He loved "doing everything," from spinning the discs, selling advertising, reading the news, developing the programming and building this very community-oriented business.
Jonesy was an avid yachtsman and dedicated member of the Cruising Club of America since 1961, and served as rear commodore of the Boston Station. In 2002, his unstinting electrical and mechanical help to his fellow yachtsmen earned him the title of Chief Engineer of the Boston Station.
His yachting career spanned nearly 60 years and always included his wife, Betsy, on fine wooden boats, including two Murray Peterson classics, "Coaster" and "Silver Heels," and "Hawksbill," a 56' Alden Motor Sailor. Their yachting resume included 37 roundtrips from their house on Cape Cod to the Bahamas, two cruises around Newfoundland, the Great Lakes, by way of the Hudson River, and everywhere in between. They also joined sailing buddies in far away places including the British Isles, the Mediterranean, New Zealand, Fiji, and Antarctica.
From age 18 till his 50s, Jonesy was a volunteer fireman. He was also a HAM radio operator for more than 60 years.
For the last five years, Jonesy and Betsy have lived at Essex Meadows in Essex, Conn., where Jonesy again generously gave of his electronic expertise and totally re-created the movie venue for the residents. Not only that, he and Betsy helped choose the movies and Jonesy created the posters which advertised the biweekly offerings.
He is survived by his wife Betsy of 67 years; a daughter, Marnie; a son, Bart; a half-brother, Joe; two grandsons, Trent and Robin; and a stepgrandson, Bradley.

January 17, 2020Wilmington government flags were ordered flown at half-staff in memory of former Wilmington Mayor and Delaware Congressman Harry G. "Hal" Haskell, Jr.
Haskell, the son of a prominent duPont executive, died Thursday at the age of 98 at his home in Pennsylvania.
Haskell was elected in November of 1968 as a Republican in a predominately Democrat-controlled city and served one-term from 1969 to 1972.
Haskell, who was defeated for re-election by Democratic City Council Member Tom Maloney, was the last Republican to be elected Mayor of Wilmington.
Current Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki said he and Haskell became fast friends when Purzycki was elected to office three years ago. "Hal was a dear, sweet and giving person," said Purzycki. "Anyone who met Hal would immediately pick up on his sincerity, authenticity and how he cared deeply for people. He appreciated the struggles that people go through and that understanding guided his actions. He was a giant of a person who will be missed greatly. The people of Wilmington, and indeed all of Delaware, thank him for his public service."
Haskell took office at a difficult time. The city was experiencing social unrest following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in April of 1968.
Haskell took pride in the fact that he and newly elected Delaware Governor Russell W. Peterson decided that the National Guard, which had been enforcing a controversial citywide curfew, should be immediately removed from the city. The occupation was one of the longest during peacetime in American history.
During his time as Mayor, worked to heal the city and create jobs through public and private partnerships. Using his own money, he created Action Task Forces in neighborhoods around the city so he could learn from citizens about their needs needed city programs.
The task force effort led to, among other things, a more robust parks and recreation system for Wilmington with additional swimming pools.
Prior to serving as Mayor, Haskell was Delaware's Congressman. Even though he served just one, two-year term from 1957 to 1959, Haskell, as a freshman member of the House, was responsible for the enactment of what is still in place today as the student loan program for the United States.
It was an idea Haskell developed a few years prior to being elected to Congress when he worked in the Office of Education in the Administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Haskell's boss in the Office of Education was former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
Haskell's focus on creating new opportunities for young people continued later in his life as he established the Delaware Futures program to help students achieve a college education. Delaware Futures helps at-risk, economically disadvantaged youth develop the social, academic and problem-solving skills they need to qualify for college and expand their opportunities.

January 23, 2020Harry G. Haskell Jr. (Hal), former Mayor of Wilmington, Del., died on January 16, 2020, at the age of 98. Enjoying one last holiday visit from his big, loud, loving family helped him finally let go. Hal and his wife Mimi had eight children, 19 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. They were married for 61 years. She, like Hal, was generous in her private and public life. Together they were energetic, mischievous, and shared a great sense of humor. After Mimi died in 2008, he reconnected with an amazing childhood friend, Ruth du Pont Lord. They were devoted partners until Ruth died in 2014.
Hal attended Tower Hill School, St. Mark's School in Mass., and Princeton University, which he left in 1942 to enlist in the US Coast Guard where he spent time in the Atlantic doing off-shore anti-submarine patrol and then in the Pacific on an LST until the end of the war.
Hal began his business career as president of Greenhill Dairies in 1948 and later was president and chairman of the board at Abercrombie and Fitch, a company that reflected his sportsmanship and love of the outdoors. Surpassing even his interest in business were his commitments to public service and philanthropy. Hal's political career began with the support of his friend and colleague, Nelson Rockefeller, and involved work in the Department of Housing, Education, and Welfare under President Eisenhower. During his one term as Delaware's only member of the US House of Representatives ('57-'59), Hal was proudest of building bipartisan backing for student loan and air traffic control legislation.
When Hal was Mayor of Wilmington he was most admired for his efforts to ease racial tension in the city following the riots that had been sparked by the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hal, along with Governor Russ Peterson, ended the National Guard's occupation, which had been one of the longest in American history. He valued honesty in politicians and a willingness to compromise, and he often praised the people of Delaware for electing reasonable leaders from both parties.
Just as important to Hal was his advocacy for environmental stewardship and increased access to quality education. He was a founding member of Chadds Ford's Brandywine River Museum and Conservancy and served on the board for more than 50 years. In 1969, Hal and two friends started Dynamy, a program in Worcester, Mass. designed to empower young people to discover their purpose. He took aspects of this program and, with the help of local leaders, founded Delaware Futures to mentor and support at-risk students for college. In the last two years of his life, the cause he pursued most passionately was bold investment, both public and private, in early childhood education.
