Many past and present members of the Georgia Tech community were stunned to learn of the sudden death of Greg Abbott, artistic director for DramaTech Theater and LCC professor, on December 1st. He devoted over two decades to the students of the university, sacrificing several nights a week to direct student dramatic productions, hold after-hours classes, and meet with different groups of students in addition to teaching. He changed the course of many lives for the better and brought an unrivaled devotion and talent to directing. Mr. Abbott passed away of a heart attack, and his survived by his wife, two teenage children, and the hundreds of young adults he mentored over his career. Greg, your kindness and unwavering support will never be forgotten. R.I.P. |
