HASKELL, Richard S., died peacefully on Monday, March 5, 2018, in Dayton, OH, at the age of 97. Richard , known by family and friends as “Dick,” is survived by his children David Haskell of Cleveland, OH, Diane Haskell of Dayton, OH, and Debra Haskell of Henderson, NV; his grandchildren Robin Shampton and Courtney Hudnall; and great-grandchildren Kennedy and Hamilton Hudnall. Richard was born on November 12, 1920, in Stoneclough, Lancashire, England. As a child, Richard, his parents (John D. and Katherine née Kenyon), and siblings lived outside Syracuse, NY. Although his studies were interrupted when he served in the U.S. Army Air Force for 3½ years, Richard returned to graduate from Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration in 1948. That same year, Richard began his nearly 40-year career with the Stouffer Corporation, rising from student manager to vice president – development of the Restaurant & Inn Division. Following his retirement, Richard continued his association with Stouffer’s as a marketing consultant. Richard married Stouffer dietician Jeanette Pietron in Chicago on May 17, 1950. Following his retirement, Richard and Jeanette started another chapter in their lives by devoting time to their hobby of showing and breeding championship miniature schnauzers. Richard was preceded in death by wife Jeanette, his parents, sisters Elizabeth “Bette” Marvin and Mary Morin, and brother William “Bill” Haskell. There will be no calling hours. Services are private.
