Jeff Wexler Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 February 6, 1922 - December 27, 2015 It is with great sadness that I have to report that my father, Haskell Wexler, has died. Pop died peacefully in his sleep, Sunday, December 27th, 2015. Accepting the Academy Award in 1967, Pop said: "I hope we can use our art for peace and for love". An amazing life has ended but his lifelong commitment to fight the good fight, for peace, for all humanity, will carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
