Haskell SOLOMON Obituary

SOLOMON, Haskell Saul Oct. 11, 1924 - Sept. 24, 2010 Beloved son, dear brother, loving husband, passionate musician, devoted friend, and "master" plumber, Haskell Solomon was born in Rangoon, Burma, on October 11, 1924. He was an accomplished violinist whose life was filled with music. He extended his love to us all, and drew us to him with his gentle spirit and joyful sense of humor. Predeceased by his beloved wife Janet in 1997, he is survived by his sister, Seemah David, of San Francisco; her children, Max, Ramah, Selwyn (Kelly), and Jasmine David; his sister-in-law Hannah Oman; and numerous relatives and friends in the U.S. and throughout the world. On Sunday, October 17, at 11:00 a.m., Haskell's ashes will be interred next to Janet at Eden Memorial Park, 11500 Sepulveda Blvd., Mission Hills, CA 91345. According to his wishes, there will be no service. He instructed that his memorial plaque be inscribed, "Music was his prayer." His friends have planned a concert to honor his memory and celebrate his life on Sunday, October 31, 1:30 p.m., at University Synagogue, 11960 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90049.

We have known Haskell for about 45 years. Our sons grew up listening to his music, laughing at his jokes, and learning from his wisdom. We are all thankful for having Haskell and Janet in our lives these many years. Having been such a part of our lives, he, and his beloved Janet, will be missed but remembered always.

Haskell was a special man who loved life, music and children. Whenever he would see my kids, his eyes would light up. He would chase little Joey and call him bandito, and pat Jonathan fondly on his head.
He always has kind, comforting, supportive words to say.
haskell will always be in our hearts, and may his memory be of blessing to all of us.
