He was born the eldest son of Robert and June Haskin of Auburn, Calif., born April 19, 1944. He was a 1963 graduate of Placer High School also in Auburn. He served his country in the Army National Guard with deployment to the Watts Riots in 1965. He had a long successful career with PG&E as a lineman and foreman of 40 years.

In his retirement years he enjoyed his ranch along with his wife of over 30 years Laurie in Fortuna. Bob was a son, a father, an uncle, a husband and a brother. He also was a soldier, a lineman, a foreman, a rancher, a cowboy and a fan of John Wayne.

Bob leaves behind a son, Bobby; a stepson, Michael; his beautiful wife, Laurie; his brothers Matt and Dale; and many extended family members and friends, as well as several farm animals and long-time buddies – his horse, Keeokee, and his little dog, Zipper.
