Not sure what to say?

I miss my friend Haskell. The heavens are brighter now for having you and the lighting is even more amazing there now.

Love

For the Wexler family:
In about 1996 or so I had a small encounter with Mr Wexler in Scottsdale, AZ. My family and I had just left a restaurant near Mountain View after dark. We noticed a man in the empty parking lot, alone, and walking oddly. Since I was a nurse, I got out to talk to him to see if he needed help. He seemed confused, and agreed to be driven to the Scottsdale Hospital. I did not know who he was, but found out later that a family member had discharged him and taken him...

sorry for your loss

Haskell clamped amic on me that went straight to his ear piece about three months ago. He proceeded to tell me the story of how aUboat sank his ship.

A brilliant mind, a beautiful soul.

Thank you for your contributions. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Always remembered
