Frederic Elliot Berman
1933 - 2006
Frederic Elliot Berman of Atlanta, age 73, wandered off this mortal coil on Sunday, July 9, 2006.
Fred was born June 28, 1933, in Montgomery, Alabama, and was the son of Isidore and Jeanne Berman of Montgomery. He served in the US Marines in Korea. Fred earned his Bachelor and Master of Science in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech where he lettered in track and field. Fred also earned a PhD. in Business Administration from Georgia State University. Breaking the existing SEC Shot-put record propelled him to the U.S. Olympic trials and won him a place in the Georgia Tech Athletic Hall of Fame.
After an engineering career in the oil servicing industry, including Schlumberger, Fred entered the executive search field, later forming the Berman Consulting Group. He taught in the College of Managements at Georgia Tech. Fred's last job was a professor of International Business at American Intercontinental University.
Fred was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Knight H. Berman of Montgomery. He is survived by his wife Tanya Ostrovsky-Berman and former wife Jane Berman, two daughters, Jordan (husband Terry) Silliman and Blair Berman, and one granddaughter Maggie Silliman. He is also survived by one brother Robert J. Berman of Chattanooga, TN.
