Todd Goodwin of North Palm Beach, Florida, died on April 19, 2017. He was 85. He was the son of the late Philip Curtis Goodwin and Ellen Laura Todd of Rocheste. A graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy 1950 and Harvard College 1954, he worked for Bankers Trust, was a partner of White Weld & Co., managing director of Merrill Lynch, and, lastly, a partner of Gibbons, Goodwin, van Amerongen, a private equity firm.
He was on the board of numerous companies and organizations including Southwest Forest Industries, R.T. French, Specialty Equipment, Schult Homes, Rival Manufacturing, Robert Half International, Johns Manville, Wells Aluminum, Cornell Companies, Southampton Hospital, Peconic Health Corp., Madison Square Boys and Girls Club, and Merrill Lynch Institutional Money Market Fund. Of great importance to him was his devotion to family and friends, survivors said.
He was an avid skier who made many trips with his friends and family to Vermont, Colorado, Utah, Europe and the Canadian Rockies. He was also an active sailor and owned three cruising sailboats Norsaga, Parlay and Windigo, a 73’ yawl that he sailed in select races in New England, the Caribbean and Mediterranean. A member of Lost Tree, The Everglades Club in Palm Beach, The Meadow Club and Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, he enjoyed tennis and golf, but when he claimed mediocrity in both, he was told by his wife not to exaggerate, survivors said.
Mr. Goodwin is survived by his wife, Ritchey; his daughters, Alexandra Olavarria and husband Andreas and Leslie Stonestreet and husband John; stepdaughters, Elisabeth Frost and husband Robert, Amanda Ricciarini and husband Roberto, and Ritchey Howe and husband David; a stepson, Robert Banker and wife Rhonda; a sister, Patricia Sladden; and 16 grandchildren. His first marriage to Beverley Benjamin ended in divorce. He was married for 20 years to Jacqueline Haswell, who predeceased him in 2006.
A memorial service will be held at St. Andrew’s Dune Church in Southampton on Monday, July 3, at 4:30 p.m.
Memorial donations may be made to Lost Tree Charitable Foundation or the Madison Square Boys and Girls Club.
