WHEREAS, Senator Haskell and his wife Eileen had three daughters, Ione, Evelyn, and Pamela; and
WHEREAS, Although he had built a successful law practice, Senator Haskell saw public service as a duty, and, in 1964, while residing in Littleton, Colorado, Senator Haskell was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives as a registered Republican, representing what was then house district number 6 in Arapahoe County, and was reelected to an additional two­year term in 1966; and

WHEREAS, In 1979, Senator Haskell married Nina Totenberg, the legal affairs correspondent for National Public Radio; and
WHEREAS, Senator Haskell was deeply respected by members of both parties in the United States Congress and the Colorado General Assembly for his acumen, his scholarly understanding of complex problems, his thoughtful approach to contested issues and, above all, his patriotism, integrity, modesty, and fundamental decency; and
WHEREAS, A man of grace and dignity, Senator Haskell also showed himself to be a person of incredible grit and determination as he fought valiantly against two long illnesses during the latter years of his life; now, therefore,
That, in the death of Floyd K. Haskell, the people of the state of Colorado have lost a dedicated public servant and outstanding citizen, and that we, the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Sixty­second General Assembly, do hereby extend our deep and heartfelt sympathy to the members of his family and pay tribute to a man who served his nation and state well and faithfully.
