Obituary of Ron Haskell

Haskell: Ronald Louis (Lou) -

Ronald Louis Haskell (Lou / "RL"), Born March 13, 1945 passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family, during the early morning of January 30, 2025 at Met Campus in Windsor. 

Ron was born 79 years ago in Chatham Ontario, to his parents Roy and Jean Haskell.  He worked at Ford Motor Company for eleven years, before joining his father in the family farming business, which was his dream. He farmed until retiring in his late 60s. During that time, he married (for 57 years) his high school sweetheart Darlene (Nee Fulmer).

He is survived by his daughter Veronica Mercer (Dana), Tim Haskell (Rikki) and was the very proud grandfather to Cpl Jim Mercer, Dillon Haskell and Max Haskell.

His many pets held a very special place in his heart especially Chuck, Buster and surviving felines Fred and Wilma. 

He was predeceased by his parents, in-laws, Marshall and Annie Fulmer and an infant daughter Michelle.

His love for family and friends was only seconded by his love for farming and the Montreal Canadiens.

Friends to be received on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at the Funeral Home, 459 St. Clair Street, Chatham from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. A Funeral Liturgy to follow. A private family interment will be held at a later date.

In keeping with Ron's wishes,cremation has taken place.

In lieu of flowers the family has asked you to make a toast in memory of Ron to a life well lived.
