Wayne Ira Haskell

April 28, 1942 - April 16, 2020

Wayne Ira Haskell, 77, of Saint Louis Park, passed away on April 15, due to complications of Covid-19. Preceded in death by parents, Art and Bella Haskell, and brothers, Neil and Stuart Haskell. Survived by cousins, nephews and old and dear friends, his “brothers” of Hazakim AZA (1960), who cared for and supported him over the years. Wayne was an intelligent, passionate and gregarious person who was tragically robbed of his potential by health issues that affected him for most of his adult life. From an early age, Wayne was fascinated by anything having to do with politics and government. As an honor student at Minneapolis North High, he participated in almost every kind of activity and was voted the “most ambitious” in a class of over 600 and was elected president of the senior class. Wayne will be missed by the many friends he gathered from all walks of life. Special thanks to the many compassionate caregivers and staff of Sholom Home West, where Wayne resided for the past thirteen years, and to the doctors and nurses in the I.C.U. unit at Methodist Hospital, who cared for him at the end of his life.
