Allen Young Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Academically, Allen was hard to match as he sailed through the Bronx School of Science, Yale University, and Harvard Law School. He returned to Yale in his retirement to earn a MA in history. Allen's sport was reading history books, and he could probably tell you what Napoleon had for breakfast.
Allen spent 26 happy years at PricewaterhouseCoopers where he was Deputy General Counsel. It was in that time that he developed a love for a perfect Manhattan straight up. This remained his cocktail time favorite.
Allen was active in Sharon town politics and served on the board of The Hotchkiss Library. He served on the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Democratic Town Committee. He was also on the board of Crescendo.
Allen is remembered by his family as being joyful and deeply kind. He is survived by his wife Lindley Young, his daughter Ridgley Sraka, his son Nate Young and stepdaughters Katherine Singer and Ann Volkwein. His grandchildren and step-grandchildren are Hazel Straka, Henry Straka, Alisa Young, Victor Young, Jackson Singer, Sloane Singer, and Maximus Saxton.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Hotchkiss Library.
