We heard from Roger Haskell, Lyman Haskell's son,
that Lyman passed away on
September 17,
2011. On July 15, 2011, his
96th birthday, he experienced
an intestinal blockage. It was
corrected
surgically, but due to his age and other factors he was in the hospital
for two weeks and in rehab
for two more, and never regained enough strength to return to his assisted
living status. He spent
a month in Roger’s home, and then went to VNA Hospice for a few days
until he died.
Born near Gainsville FL in 1915, he was graduated from the University of
Florida in 1937
after lettering in swimming for four years. He
married Margaret Sinkinson, on August 23, 1940.
Lyman served in the U. S. Army in
Europe during WWII, earning a Bronze Star and other
medals, and being retired from the Army Reserve after the war as
Lieutenant Colonel.
He worked briefly for Shawmut Bank in Boston, and later joined Union
Mutual Life Insurance
Company in Portland, where he worked until 1975.
After Margaret’s death in 1977 Lyman married Enid McCarthy, with whom he
lived until
her death in 2004. Until 1999
when he became unable to get around well, he spent his retirement
between Florida in the winter and Chebeague Island, Maine in the summer. He
spoke fondly of
his years at Union Mutual (that dates him if nothing else does) and of the
people with whom he
worked.
