David Haskell Obituary
NORTH YARMOUTH - David C. Haskell, 69, died suddenly at his home in North Yarmouth on Jan. 30, 2016.
David was born on Dec. 12, 1946, in Portland, the son of Gordon and Janet Barbour Haskell. He graduated from Scarborough High School in 1964 and attended Maine Maritime Academy. He married Barbara Robey on Dec. 27, 1965, and they had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. David was employed by IBM in Waltham, Mass. and at the Prudential Center, Boston, for eight years. In his first year, he was awarded the company's highest honor at that time, the Mean Service Award. He was self-employed as a marine mechanic for many years. Dave had his own heating business for 15 years in the Wiscasset area; worked at Yarmouth Boatyard, Yarmouth, and as parts manager/marine mechanic at Brewer's Boatyard in South Freeport for nine years. He spent five years at Ace Hardware, Yarmouth, retiring in 2014.
David is survived by his wife Barbara; three children, Michael of Lincoln, Timothy of Bath, and Christopher of Augusta; six grandchildren, Molly, Makayla, Natasha, Austin, David, and Andrew; one great-grandson, Raiden; and a sister, Kathryn Whittier of North Yarmouth. He was predeceased by his parents.
Dave will be fondly remembered for his humorous outlook on life and his boundless energy as well as for creating wooden jigsaw puzzles of boats and other Maine scenes and for his prize-winning garlic.
A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Dave was a memorable person. Always had an outgoing personality and a ready laugh and smile. I am sure he will be missed by all who knew him. He brought out the best in people because of his outgoing personality and his loss is a loss for all who knew him.
