Charles Haskell, Jr. was born to Charles and Delores (Jordan) Haskell on Dec. 11, 1950 in Forrest City, S.D. He was raised in Armstrong County along with his eight siblings and attended his school days at Cheyenne Agency, Ridgeview Seventh Day Advent School and Eagle Butte School. Upon receiving his education he worked for several area ranchers, including Bill Pothast, Melvin Truax, Vernon Hinbaugh and Hans Joens.
He moved to Arizona in the spring of 1970 to work and rodeo with his cousins, Ike LeBeau and Vincent Charles. In September 1970 he was drafted in the United States Army, serving his country until April of 1972, when he was honorably discharged. Upon returning, he served in the Army Reserve and in the summer of 1972 assisted with the Rapid City Flood with his best friend Don Lee. On Dec. 8, 1972 he married Cora Mae Fish and they started their family in Lantry. In 1974 they moved to Eagle Butte where he was employed by BIA Facilities Management until 1987 when they moved to Gettysburg. During this time he worked for Swiftbird Day School and I.H.S. Facilities Management.
In 1994, Chuck and Cora Mae moved back to Eagle Butte where he continued his employment with BIA Facilities Management until his retirement in April of 2007 after 34 years of service. In 2002 Chuck, Cora Mae and Myah Jade moved to Lantry to the Lawrence and Hilda Fish Homestead, where he lived until the time of his death. Charles and his wife purchased The Gift Garden in Eagle Butte in 2006, where he spent much of his retirement by putting smiles on his customers faces with his many deliveries.
Chuck's interests and hobbies included dancing, fishing, hunting, boating, bowling, camping, cooking, playing cards, rolling dice and taking on the duties of band manager of his son's band, Stampede. But most importantly, he enjoyed spending time with his wife, family and grandchildren, whom he loved immensely. He also enjoyed watching his favorite football team, the Carolina Panthers.
