Donald Alvin Haskins passed away on July 8, 2013, in Lakeport, Calif.

Born June 16, 1931, in Kelseyville, Calif., he was 82 years old.

He is the son of Alvin E. and Noma Ione Nobles Haskins.

He married Margery J. Hudspeth on March 29, 1953, in Kelseyville. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2013. They lived in Los Angeles for many years and moved back to Lakeport in 1993.

He attended Kelseyville High School and enjoyed all of the typical activities of a Lake County youth including hunting, fishing, playing whichever sport happened to be in season, and of course, worked in the pear orchards.   

After high school he served on a hospital ship in the Navy and soon thereafter joined his father and started Economy Roofing in Santa Monica, Calif., and years later his sons joined him at Economy Roofing.   

He loved and played many sports but his prowess with the pool cue was legendary around Lake County and later in Los Angeles. He loved his San Francisco Giants and the other Bay Area sports teams.  

He never lost his love for Lake County as a fifth generation descendant of the early settlers of Lake County, and visited frequently when he lived in Los Angeles.  

He is survived by his wife, Margery Haskins of Lakeport; three children, Richard A. Haskins (Lorie), Debra L. Haskins (Paul) and Randal R. Haskins (Ivy); four grandchildren, Steven (Katherine), Jonathan (Monica), Christian and Emily Haskins; and six great-grandchildren, Lauren, Elizabeth, Caroline, James, Michael and Russell Haskins all of Los Angeles.

Graveside services will be held 10 a.m. Friday, July 19, at Kelseyville Cemetery.
