Allan Moses Obituary
Portsmouth, NH - Allan Mark Moses, 73, passed away peacefully on December 10, 2025, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire surrounded by his children. An avid Steelers fan and affectionately known by his nickname, "Coach Moche", Allan was born on November 19, 1952, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Ernest and Ruth Moses. Allan lived a life marked by dedication to his family, his community, and his work.
Allan earned his bachelor's degree from Ohio University in 1974 and went on to receive his MBA from New Hampshire College in 1980. He began his distinguished career at Riverbend Community Mental Health in 1981, where he served as Chief Financial Officer with commitment and compassion until his retirement in 2020. He also shared his expertise as an adjunct professor at New England College and New Hampshire Technical Institute.
Allan's community involvement was extensive and impactful. He conceptualized the John H. Whitaker Place Assisted Living Facility through Riverbend and served as a longtime Board Member and Treasurer at Temple Beth Jacob. He was a longtime resident of Bow, New Hampshire and was active in youth sports teams as well as a founding member of the Bow High Falcons Booster Club.
Allan was a passionate Pittsburgh Steelers fan known for giving every newborn family member their very own Terrible Towel. He found joy in gardening and cherished the time spent with loved ones and friends, leaving behind countless warm memories and a legacy of kindness that touched everyone who knew him.
A devoted father and grandfather, Allan is survived by his three children: Eric (Cortney Lyford), Kelsea (Matt Modelane), Trevor (Jenny Anderson); his three grandchildren, Anders, Margot, and Isaiah, who knew him as "Fajah"; his sister Barbara (Tom Hudson) and their children Daniel and Rachel; and his cousin Brenda (Ted Roter) and their daughter Sara. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Ruth Moses.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, December 15th, at Temple Beth Jacob, 67 Broadway, Concord, New Hampshire.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Allan's honor to Temple Beth Jacob, or to the Steelers. Go Steelers!

Eric, Kelsea, and Trevor and the rest of Alan's family. My condolences.
Al and I met at Ohio University when he was a sophomore, We became good friends. In 1974 Al, Fred Wolff and I lived in a rented house on Lake Shore Drive in Northwood, New Hampshire for 3 or 4 years. Very fond memories of those days, getting to know Al other than being a student at OU. Witnessed his master skills of making vegetarian food. He was always a good guy and thought of others. He is missed. Rest in Peace!

Worked for Allan "back in the day" at Riverbend. He was a great boss and an all-around good guy. Condolences to his children - he always loved talking about them with so much pride. May he rest in peace.

Dear Allan´s family,
I met Allan in high school thru BBYO- we had many highjinks then which continued when we , along with Garrey Flam, ended up at OU together. His dry sense of humor, tinged with sarcastic wit was always a source of entertainment. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and extend my condolences to all of you. Many years when I lived in Providence, the kids were very young, Allan stopped to visit and had the opportunity to meet his family ( I´m sure you don´t remember!) .
May his memory be of a blessing

It´s hard to imagine a world without Allan in it. At Riverbend he taught me so much. We wrote the PCC budgets together, which were always a drudgery for me, but he taught me about levity making the hardest jobs easier. His favorite topic of discussion, even more than the Steelers, was his children, his greatest passion. I will always treasure his friendship and tutelage and will remember him with respect and admiration.
