Peter Thomas Haskins 64 beloved husband of Vickie and loving father of Kaitlyn and Alexis, died from complications of Covid December 10, 2021 at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Peter was born August 1, 1957 in Granville NY to Edgar and Alice (LaFountain) Haskins. May 20, 1978 he married Vickie Baker, moved to Dorset and began their life together.

He is survived by his wife and business partner Vickie, daughters Kaitlyn and Alexis, brother Roger (Diane), Essex Junction Vt., sister Mary, Brooksville FL. Peter also leaves his in-laws Tim and Mary Baker of Dorset and Port Orange FL., sister-in-law Kellie Baker-Waite of Pawlet, brother-in-law Dale (Sherrie) of Wells. Uncle to Emily and Lilly Waite, Nicholas and Zachary Baker, Carol and Amy Haskins, Leslie Haskins and Sarah Desormier.

Peter received his education in Pawlet and graduated from Granville High School in 1975. At the early age of 6 his first job was gathering eggs at the Moore Egg Farm in Pawlet. During his teen years he worked for Ralph Sheldon Construction, moving on to Baker Trucking in Dorset after meeting his soon to be bride Vickie. At a very young age he figured out with determination and good old fashion hard work he could achieve absolutely anything and so it began. In 1980 Peter and Vickie purchased the small 75 customer propane business from his parents. Working side by side they built the business to what it is today with over 6000 customers. With his "can do" attitude he designed and built one of the largest propane pipelines in New England located at Stratton Mountain. He also spent countless hours designing and constructing a propane rail terminal located in North Dorset.

Never a loss for words and always eager to share his unlimited wealth of knowledge to those around him. His peaceful and serene place was at their lake house with family and friends, having a cocktail, relaxing in his hammock and sharing what was so special to him.

In addition to the propane business they also own and operate Dorset RV Park, Hasgas General Store and Haskins Fuel Company.

He is predeceased by his parents, siblings Pam, Susie and Eddie, nephew Robbie and brother-in-law Matt Waite.
