Andy Toorock, a member of the Westborough Veterans Advisory Board, was attending a dedication ceremony in November 2019 at Framingham State University for Marine Capt. A Westborough High grad and Framingham State alum, Haskell was killed at age 32 in Beirut, Lebanon on Oct. 23, 1983. Haskell was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart, and Framingham State dedicated its veterans center for him. He left the service in 1973, attended drill instructor school and studied at Framingham State, where he graduated summa cum laude in 1976. “It was a pleasure to have a fellow Marine memorial placed where it should be.”
