Lee was born March 2, 1942 in Moline, the son of Chester and Marjorie (Weckel) Haskins. He graduated from Riverdale High School in 1960. He married Barbara Hanna on December 9, 1961 at the Hillsdale United Methodist Church during a huge snowstorm. Lee was a great Supervisor at the John Deere Parts Distribution Center retiring after 37 years of service. He thoroughly enjoyed 20 years of retirement and never thought about working again. Lee loved playing and watching sports and excelled in all of them. He enjoyed shooting pool, golfing, fishing, gardening, being outdoors and spending time with family. He never met a stranger and he liked getting 'haircuts' at Peacocks. He liked sneaking chocolates and doughnuts when possible.
