May the Allvine family find peace in their sorrow and know the Georgia Tech community is holding them dearly. I did not know Fred personally but am inspired that his life impacted so many in positive ways. 

Fred was our daughter's  Professor at GT. She  later worked as his Assistant while finishing her Business Degree. We got to know Fred and Nancy  since we both lived in Roswell in the late 1990's and have remained good friends since. Our sincere condolences go out to the Allvine family. Fred will be missed by so many people who's lives were touched by him. The GT community has lost a wonderful Professor, and we have lost a dear friend.



Dear Allvine family,
I extend my condolences and prayers to your entire family.  Professor Allvine taught me marketing principles at Georgia Tech in 1973. He always was so enthusiastic and animated in his teaching and brilliant as well.  Always, a hopeful combination when you are a student. I ended up taking another course from him as an elective because I so enjoyed his "passion" for expressing his knowledge in a meaningful and useful manner.  In my senior year, 1974, I expressed to him my desire to get an MBA at Hardvard.  He urged me to apply and wrote a reference.  Unfortunately, Harvard said I needed to work a couple of years and then I would get in the program.
Dr. Allvine was getting ready to write a book with grant funds, so he asked that I assist him. For almost a year, I worked with him on this project (The New State of the Economy book) in the "basement " office of the Skiles classroom building.  I learned more in that year about the gasoline industry, marketing, options trading, and business in general than I would have learned at Harvard in ten years.  I am so thankful  he gave me the opportunity.  
Again, I am sorry for your loss, but know he made an indelible mark on thousands and thousands of students who will be forever grateful .

Condolences to Fred's family and friends.   I remember fondly many  conversations on the future of business education, on marketing as a foundational field, on how the world economy was evolving.   I appreciated his wise counsel he gave me as a young professor.   I remember also how he volunteered to do  yeoman work as secretary to our faculty's meetings of the whole.  He impacted many lives among our students, alumni and fellow faculty.

So sorry to hear this sad news.
Fred was such a vibrant individual.
When I was interviewing for a faculty position at Georgia Tech., he was in my seminar!
If I correctly remember, he got us the first Apple computers in the College.
He contributed immensely to the growth of the Scheller College.

He lead a wonderful life. Nancy and Fred had a great tradition of hosting a New Year Day breakfast.
Thank you so much and may Fred's soul rest in peace.

My deepest sympathies.
