Allan M. Goddard died on April 12, 2015 after a critical but thankfully short illness. He is survived by his three children, Lynne Ahn, David Goddard, Eric Goddard, 6 grandchildren, and his wife, Abby A. Goddard.
After graduating from Yale, Allan went west where he attended Stanford Business School. He followed his accounting interests and joined Ernst and Young, where he remained until 1999. His areas of expertise were government contracting and life sciences; of equal importance was his role as the Senior Advisory partner on many accounts and as a mentor to so many EY partners and professionals. Allan was much loved, much respected, and will be missed by so many.
