      HASKELL, Richard Hansford Burroughs Sr., passed away at his home in Richmond, Va., on November 26, 2013. He was born in Richmond, Va., on August 20, 1949, the son of the late Howze and Ann B. Haskell of Richmond. He was baptized and confirmed at St. James Episcopal Church and attended Christchurch School in Middlesex County. He graduated from Old Dominion University in 1972 and entered his father's business, Haskell Chemical Company, in 1975. In 1985, he became the president and served in this position until 2006. During this time, Richard served on the Richmond Human Relations Commission, the Board of Directors of the American Cancer Society of Virginia, The Richmond Memorial Hospital Foundation, the National Association of Chemical Distributors and the Board of Governors of Christchurch School. He is survived by three children, Richard H. B. Haskell Jr. of Savannah, Ga., Clayton Howze Haskell of Toulouse, France and Lainie Gratz of Charlottesville, Va.; and her two children, Beau and Olana Gratz. Additionally, he is survived by a sister, Ann H. Haskell of New York; and a brother, Preston H. Haskell of Richmond. Richard spent his entire life on or near the water from Fishing Bay in Middlesex, Va., to Harbour Island in the Bahamas. He imparted his love of the water to all three of his children and both his sons crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a 28-foot boat at the ages of 18 and 21, respectively, to Mr. Haskell's consternation. He met the boys in Portugal and they continued to sail around the Mediterranean with their sister Lainie, who was studying art restoration in Italy. Private graveside service for the immediate family will be held at Hollywood Cemetery on December 6, 2013, and a celebratory gathering for relatives and friends will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Richmond SPCA Animal Shelter or Christchurch School in Middlesex, Va.
