Timothy Haskell Obituary

Last night I ran the Tunnel 2 Towers race in Columbia, SC I ran for one of your brothers. I was honored to run in his honor, he will never be forgotten. True heros and i will continue to pray for you and your family. Just wanted to share this with you

I praise you for your will and valor to fight the WTC infernos. RIP tim...

You will always be remembered, Timmy. To your family members, share Timmy's spirit in your everyday life. With Regards.

Wearing Timothy's name on my September 11 bracelet in his honor...today and always.

Always on my mind Timothy.

Remembering Timmy and Tommy, today and always.
Their father and my mother were cousins, and although my part of the family moved to NJ, everyone kept in touch. I think the last picture I have of all of us together was at my great Uncle Frank's 75th birthday!! Which would have been when we were all teenagers or younger!!
Just wanted to send loving thoughts and peaceful feelings to my family today, hoping you know you are all in our prayers. No matter the time or distance -- family is family. With love, Kathy.

Hello, I'm climbing the September 5th 911 stair climb in honor of Timothy Haskell.

I will be climbing in honor of Timothy at FDIC 9/11 memorial stair climb Indianapolis . If anyone could give me more info about Timothy I would greatly appreciate it . E mail is [email protected]

Pray for Timothy and tommy to grate firefighters and brave we pray for both of you

Hello I am a nurse who participated in the Medina, OH Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers 5k this past weekend. The firefighter I was honored to represent was Timothy Haskell. I have read stories about Tim as well as all the listed comments on this page and can't help but feel like I was given Tim for a reason. I admire you and your brother, Thomas for your unwavering bravery and sacrifice. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and all the other people who lost their lives on 9/11. I will never forget you. God bless ??

I am a teacher at Haverhill HIgh School. Tomorrow our school is having an outdoor ceremony in remembrance of lives lost on Sep 11. Name cards of firefighters were distributed to the classrooms. Timothy's name card was on my door. So I have read about Timothy's life and shared it with my students. Our class will proudly represent Timothy during the memorial services tomorrow. I hope that this gesture will bring honor to Timothy and his family.

Tim,
I guess you are up in heaven playing with Blaze, Bunker and Misty. I miss you, even now--I miss that amazing smile, the laughter--the good times. Although it's not fair that you left so soon, I'm certain that I'll see you again one day and it will be amazing. Keep watching over me. ????
Love,
Marybeth

I was honored to wear Timothy's name on the SD 9/11 memorial stair climb! I climbed next to my firefighter husband and my thoughts and prayers were for Timothy and his loved ones that miss him! Thank you for sacrificing your life to save others!!

I never met you in person, but I ran and climbed with you in mind and reading this I see why I was selected to honor your name. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do as an angel to us all.

Remembering and missing you always.

XO
Marybeth

Life has a harsh way of handling things its just a circle of life that life itself just doesn't accept what happend that day marked a part of history that will never be forgotten people die buildings burn but real love last forever and as long as you can grasp that concept it begins to make things easier to live with my prayers go to everyones family whose loved one was involved in such a ugly cowardly act that resulted in fatality keep your head up when u want to keep it down life goes on and unfortunately so will actions that happened on september 11th but the trick is don't let it kill you you fight with everything you got and remember we we're america then and we are america now and not a damn things going to stop us! Much sympathy hope all goes well

tomorrow is Tuesday September 11, 2012. It has been 11 years since that tragic day. I am lighting this candle in honor of all who lost their lives that day and to all of those who will be forever changed by that day. God Bless America and it's people!

Today my boyfriend, Cory did the stair climb in honor of Timothy. This took place in down town Kansas city. There was 343 fire fighters who did this climb in honor of all of those who lost their lives that day on September 11, 2001. The strength and pride of Americans is amazing, how we all unite.

Timmy I still think about you and remember you fondly. Thank you for the great times on your boat and for just being a friend. I know you are in heaven because you were an angel on earth. You had a great big, kind, loving heart. God Bless you Timmy! I hope you are smiling down on us from above knowing you are still remembered and loved. XO Gina

I never knew of Timothy Haskell until this past week, then for some reason it seemed as though he was reaching out to me. I call it "the power of three"... three separate shows, that spanned almost a decade, I either saw or heard Timmy's name, or heard his story. Out of all the names of all the people... that I should "happen" upon his these three times seemed too big to be ignored. I hope his family knows that he is loving them, still. Memories work both ways. As you are remembering and honoring him, he is doing the same for you.

This morning, my husband Mark, climbed the TransAmerica building in San Francisco with over 300 firefighters honoring those firefighters who died on 9/11. Each person was wearing a lanyard of a fallen firefighter, and Mark was climbing in honor of Timothy.

Our thoughts are with Timothy's family today and always.

I never met Timothy or his family, but I wear his bracelet to honor his memory.

In the days after 9/11, I received a bracelet with the name of Timothy Haskell on it. Every 9/11 since I have wore the bracelet, thought of that day, and remembered the firefighter that lost his life trying to save others. On this 10th anniversary I once again with wear the bracelet and think of the man it represents. God bless.

I thank you for saving all those people and family. It is a honer to have you as a firefighter. And also as a 9/11 hero

We will always remember you. We will never forget. You are a hero to us all, and we thank you. God Bless you and your family.

God bless you. You are a true American hero, and will never be forgotten by our nation. You are forever at peace with God and his angels.

I would love to call you to hear "DUDE HEAR" I wish you were still here all the time. Every summer I am out on my boat I still use to this day all the diffrent things you taught me and think about ya everytime I do it.. Hanging out, Diving, and just laughing with ya has never been the same.. Miss ya Bro. Wayne

I played baseball with Tim almost 30 years ago for Seaford Little League. He was an awesome athlete, and I also went to High School with him. All I can say is...What a Great Guy and what a very tragic lose. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Haskell family. I didnt really know Tom too well but I know he was a great guy too.. Only the good die young...

Happy Birthday!!!

Tim,
Happy Birthday. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Greetings Timothy,
My name is Jeremiah Aherne and I am a volunteer at The Garden of Remembrance, Ringfinnan, Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland and a retired firefighter with Cork City Fire Brigade. I just wianted to let your family know that your Tree in the garden has be replaced with a new tree. Unfortunately the moist salt laden air from the sea did not serve some variety of trees too well and they did not thrive like other ones. We are confident that come summer all the trees will blossom forth in all their glory and give great comfort to the families and friends who will visit. This year I had the honour of placing a Christmas bauble on each of the 343 Trees in the garden and placed one by your name. I thought that it would be appropriate to write to you and tell you what we have been doing in the Garden of Remembrance.
Love and best wishes
Jeremiah Aherne

I grew up a few blocks from the Haskells and knew Tim and his brothers (And his dad who was quite the character)from the neighborhood.
They were all good kids who managed to keep their noses clean from alot of problems kids get involved with. It is no suprise that they followed in their Dad's footsteps.I'm sure they are up there with him now.
While life took me away from Seaford some years ago when this time of year comes around i take some time to think of them and what they stood for and the loss thats felt not only by fellow "vikings" but the country in general.
God bless them and their families.

Happy Birthday...didn't forget. Also to Tom, your brother who won't be forgotten, whose birthday is now in March. Keep guiding us on our journey down here.

Happy Birthday!!!

Tim,
Happy Birthday in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

A loved one lives forever in the hearts of those who cared.
A loved one lives forever in the memories that were shared.

Thinking of you Timmy.

God Bless you and your family.

In 2004 I was attending the Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend. I had the honor of meeting Timothy anad Thomas's Mother and enjoyed the conservation that we had. Before we moved on, she gave me pictures of her 2 son's. I keep these photo's near my desk, so that I can see them everyday, and reflect on the sacrifices they made that day, as well as what all people in emergency services do for us everyday.
For the Haskell Family, their sacrifices will never be forgotten, and everytime I visit the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial, I make a special visit to their plaque to remember.

Tim,
Happy Belated Birthday in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

happy valentines day

xoxo

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

In memory....

Thanks for savig lives.

Tim; I know your youngest brother, Kevin. When I lost my precious Paul on 4/26/97, he became my youngest son big brother. My youngest, Richard is now a New York City Firefighter. His fire house had a dog & when he got hurt on 2/14/05; & had 2nd degree burns on the left side of his face, he brought the dog, Petey, to his home. He taught him to drop, roll after he asks him "what do you do Petey when there's a fire". I know you also taught your dog & probably showed Richard. You are a true hero, God Bless, NiurkaMaria

may your soul float in heaven.. and your spirt live on in the hearts of all that you've touched..

Tim,
Happy belated birthday in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

God Bless You...

Timmy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Timmy,

Happy Birthday in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

We miss you Timmy.



The Rogers Family

Timmy, you will always live in my heart and are truly missed. My love goes out to your entire family. You are a true hero and a very special friend.

Dear Family,

I will be running a 5-K in Minnesota tomorrow evening and picked Timothy to run in memory of. I worked at the Trade Center Site and at the Firehouse that housed Engine 54 Ladder 4 as a grief couselor in October 01, my prayer is that some of Timothy's spirit touched me there and now lives inside of me.

Take Care and God Bless,

Charlotte R. Olson

My deepest condolences to Timothy Haskell's family, a hero who will never be forgotten. Despite the fact that I didn't know anyone who lived in New York, my heart ached as the news unfolded that day. Your family is in my prayers. Even though it's been 2 years since this tragedy has happened my heart aches each & every day. I can't imagine the pain so unbearable you must feel. Just keep in mind that he is now looking down on each & everyone of you. It is because of people like him that people are saved each & every day.

God Bless America!!!

Being a Seaford resident, I knew the Haskell family only in somewhat brief instances. I graduated a year behind Kevin in 1991. What wonderful stories have surfaced in the face of this horrible tragedy. Stories of heartwarming and fond rememberances. These two were definately heroes. I truly believe the good Lord has a special place in Heaven for people like this. May God sustain their mom and family at this time, and always, as their memory and legacy live on.

The "Dude". Anyone who met Timmy loved him.I met him back in the late 80's, we became great friends a short time after that. The memories are endless; from four wheeling in Melville to speeding around in his boat (Boinger). He has made a huge impact in my life with advice he'd give, to just the ear he would give. The whole Haskell family is the epitiome of what a close and loving family should be. Always in my thoughts.

Happy Birthday in Heaven,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Timmy, I know that your birthday is tomorrow - Feb. 25. I will go to Mass in your memory. I will pray also for those you left behind who miss you so much, especially your mom and brother Kenny. You will always be remembered. You were such a unique and wonderful individual and made a positive impact on the lives of many.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Haskell family for their terrible loss. I proudly wear a 9/11 bracelet bearing Tim's name while my Mother wore one with Thomas' name. She passed away 7/31/02 and because she never took it off, it was buried with her. Firefighters are special people and a rare breed. They are true hero's.

We did not have the privilege of knowing you, however, we feel a little connected through your relatives, the Cheswicks of East Meadow. Please know that all of your family is in the prayers of these "displaced New Yorkers". May God rest your soul and may the Holy Family watch over all your family always.

Ray, Mary Jane, Terance, Brayton McQuade and Megan McQuade Holley.

Timmy, words can't express how much I miss u. When everybody was saying that my dog Benny was aggressive and needed strict punishment, u took him in your arms, looked him in the eyes and gained his trust. U taught me that love will heal and tame all things. Now Benny is friendly and full of love. U handled Benny as u handle all things - with patience and kindness. To say that u have taught me alot is an understatement. U are the superhero that I miss, love and treasure in my heart forever. Thank u for fighting for us.



Gabby, I miss u so much. I miss spending time with u and I miss having u as my friend. I hope that we can be friends again.

Tim was one of my best friends. He was always their for me when I needed him. His smile could light up an entire room. I miss him so much & pray for his family. He is a true hero & will be missed terribly.

I cry for him his brother Tom and his Family everytime i see his picture or hear his name. He will always be remembered as a hero. God Bless Him and His Family.

Timmy may God bless you and keep you safe. For all you have done .



Nick Mandato

hi my name is jen, and i work for a radio station in san diego. Today we honored the heroes that lost their lives by reading the name of every person, and ringing our freedom bell in their honor. I am emailing you to let you know I had Timothy's name and I was deeply honored to pay tribute to him! The more I learn about Timothy the more I grieve at your loss of such an amazing person! To his family and friends, thank you for sharing his spirit with us. Although I never got the chance to meet him I will never forget Timothy and his story,....God Bless

jen sewell

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and your family. Thank you for your selflessness. You are a true hero.

God Bless



John Mandato

We fondly remember Tim when he worked with us, before the Fire Department. He was always working out and encouraging everyone to join along. We could always depend on him, as he was brave, honorable and an all around nice guy. We called him "Superman". He still is...

Tim, although I never met you or Tom, your

Mom made it feel as though I did.

Maureen, Thank you. The memories you

always shared with us are forever in

my mind. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and your family.You are always in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

A permanent memorial will be built on the grounds of Seaford High School where Timmy and Tommy Haskell went to school. The 9-11 S.H.S. Memorial will be a comtemplative year-round garden and teaching plaza in memory of the five Seaford alumni who perished in the World Trade Center attack on September 11th. This will be a lasting tribute to Seaford High School's heroes and patriots of

9-11: Tommy Haskell, Timmy Haskell, John Perry, Robert Sliwak, and Michael Wittenstein. God Bless Them.

I knew Tim a few years ago met at a bar on StPatrick's Day - I think I even got him on national TV for the firefighters calendar on Fox. He was one of the most sincere, funny and generous people I knew - he always remembered a face and went out of his way to make people fee special. Heaven is blessed to have him there...and we all miss him down here.

Timmy was Kenny's older brother and thats how I knew him. The Haskells were involved in Bronco football and thats where I met Kenny and Timmy. They knew me as Skippy Day. Even though he was only a little older he always was "Kenny's older brother" OOOO!!! You know that feeling being a kid and actually being spoken to by someone older. It was so cool to us that he would actually take time to"just hang out". Timmy commanded a presence at 10 years old. Now that I look back I realize there was something special about he and his family. We know now that he was put on this earth for something special, something great. He, his brother and all the FDNY made us proud and also helped us remember what a true hero is. As hundreds scampered out of the buildings in fear they were bravely running in to help. To Kenny and the rest of the Haskell family I offer you my prayers. God has two new friends and I bet they are all planning how they can put out the fires of hell.

Tim, Tom, and Serge...I missed you so much at this year's "Bridge" party. It was not the same without you! The only comfort was knowing that everybody there felt the same as me...sad...inside.



May God bless you all. God blessed me to know you, even if only for a moment in time.

We miss you, Timmy.

You are forever in our hearts...

Father we entrust our brother Timothy to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.

I had to have Timothy's bracelet to remember that tragic day. Each day I would enter the firehouse.com website to check the list and his name kept popping up first...I feel it was a message. I promise to always remember the men and women who gave so much that day and to pass it on. God Bless the Haskell family and all those who lost a loved one that day.

I first met Timmy in 1992 when he was working at the "Ghostbusters" firehouse. He was such a special, sweet, careful person, though he did have his wild side. While we fell out of touch, I thought of him immediately on September 11th. My twins were born the next day. I have vowed to tell them about Timmy, who was dedicated to humanity, and teach them the best that Timmy had to offer. God bless the Haskells for giving the rest of us such a wonderful gift.

I didn't know Timothy Haskell, but I wish that I would have. I chose to buy the 9-11 bracelet as a way to always remember what happened on that tragic day. Timothy Haskell's name appears on that bracelet and I am proud to wear it. My thoughts and my prayers go out to all those who knew him. I truly will never forget. God Bless America

**********GOD BLESS YOU**********

I knew Timmy through his fireman buddy Tom "OZZIE" Oswald. I worked on his mothers house in seaford. I helped add a second story apt. for timmy and his girlfriend. It took us three months to complete. So, I had the pleasure to know timmy for those three months. We lost a good one!!!! God bless his family and friends.



Scott Hall

My boss Steve Webber new your brother from his days in New York. His letter at our work National bearings touched my heart. My brother is President of a Fire Department. My heart goes out to you for your loss. All that have passed on are heroes in my heart. They all gave up there lives for freedom. May god Bless them all.

Dear Dawn and the Haskell Family,

Please accept my condolences for the

loss of Timothy and my prayers for

your family. My grandmother, great,

great uncle and two uncles were

Haskells from New York and Massachu-

setts (Lynn and Marblehead). May

God bless you and give you His peace.

You just got off your night tour but you went in anyway. But that is how you were, the bravest of the brave. We miss you, your brother misses you. I guess there was a reason why we didn't give Ryan a middle name. Now he will be honored by taking your name, Ryan Timothy. I will tell him and lil' Ken every chance I get that their Uncle Timmy was a hero. Watch over my boys for me. Rest in peace.

DEAR GOD SHINE YOUR LIGHT ON THE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG HERO FIREMAN TIMOTHY

HASKELL AND MAY HE REST IN PEACE WITH GOD HIS ANGELS..AND HIS BROTHER THOMAS...GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS..GOD BLESS AMERICA AND MAY WE NEVER FORGET 9/11/01...AMEN

I saw you for the first time...There was a picture of you, your girlfriend and your pets in the New York times shortly after 9/11. I read your story and I felt a lump in my throat and my heart felt like it weighed a ton. I saved that article for my family to read as they are living in TX and most likely would never see it otherwise. When I found this Website I looked your name up immediately, along with your brother, Thomas. May God Bless you and everyone who died or suffered during that tragic day. We will NEVER forget.

What a wonderful way to teach children about fire safety as that which Timothy and Blaze shared. We thank Timothy and Thomas for all the lives they helped save as a firefighter. Such a dedication comes with a brave, warm and caring heart full of love for his fellow man. May Timothy's teaching skills he shared with Blaze continue helping children learn. May Timothy's and Thomas's lives and love live on in those who love them and in those who have been helped by them. Our hearts are tremendously sorry for your loss of Timothy and Thomas. Our hearts cry with you.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
