Alan M. Gould

Alan M. Gould, 76, of Jupiter, Florida passed away peacefully March 15, 2024. Alan was born September 22, 1947 in New York, New York. He was the son of the late Henry Gould and late Marillyn Gould (Schissel). Alan grew up in Natick, Massachusetts and relocated to Jupiter, Florida in 1992.

Alan ran his own tax preparation business in Framingham, Massachusetts, then in Jupiter and West Palm Beach, Florida until his retirement in 2014 assisting many clients with their tax needs. He loved the challenge of doing right by his clients while achieving the necessary accuracy.

Alan had several hobbies he enjoyed including flying, ham radio and traveling. Alan traveled to many places including Africa, Central America and Canada. He also enjoyed traveling in the US, visiting many states over his lifetime. Alan received his single engine pilot’s license in 1974. He took advantage enjoying his private pilot’s license whenever time allowed. His love of flying took him to regional airports in the New England area simply to enjoy the flight with family and friends. It wasn’t uncommon to be diverted from a day’s plan when he spotted an airport with a Piper Club and had to stop in to see if the plane was available for a few “touch & go’s”. He instilled the love of flying in his children with his son, Adam, recently receiving his own pilot’s license and his daughter, Stephanie, traveling extensively before settling down with her family. Alan always reminded Stephanie as she embarked on a trip to let the pilot know she knew how to fly having had a lesson in Norwood, Massachusetts when she was young enough to need a pillow to see over the cowling.

Alan’s greatest joy in life was being a loving husband, father and grandfather. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Barbara Gould (Patterson); son Adam Gould of Aventura, Florida; daughter Stephanie and husband Scott Cochrane of Las Vegas, Nevada along with their children Alexander 5, Benjamin 4, and Olivia 4 months (Alexander, Benjamin and Olivia will miss their “Papa Pool”); and brother Lawrence Gould (Mindy) of Aventura, Florida.

A Celebration of Life is planned for a later date.
