ALLAN GOLDMAN

I mourn the death of my ex-husband and father of my two children, and my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the wonderful and loving woman in Allan Goldman's life for the past 25 years, Natalia Vostrikov. Allan had a quiet, gracious personality, an astute sense of value in all aspects of his life, and above all, a resilient and stoic sense of humor.

I´m so sorry to learn of Allan´s passing. The obituaries in the NY Times illuminate the love he shared with his children, his sisters, and his grandchildren. My Great Neck High School classmates and I are grateful for his philanthropic support of the Lewis E. Love Memorial Science Education Award. It´s never easy to lose a loved one. I still remember how disconsolate I was at the passing of my beloved parents. Since then, I´ve read that grieving is a form of learning - one that teaches us...

I knew Allan over 25 years and his sense of humor and kindness were part of every interaction I had with him. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May the memory you have of him burn bright eternally.

I have wonderful memories of training with Allen. He loved boxing as a form of exercise and was good at it. I would kid him "Allan, you´re too handsome to be a boxer". My condolences to the Goldman Family.
