Purpose
Pete Pascoff was born and raised in Frederick, Colorado. He received his B.S. Degree in Business at Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey. Pete became Director of Management Information Services for a mining company, Asarco, whose home office was in New York City. He was with Asarco for 38 years. After he retired in 1998 he and his wife Grace moved back to Colorado. Pete volunteered extensively over the years. Some of his service included teaching English as a second language, completing tax returns for seniors, and serving on an ambulance as driver and medic. He volunteered for 16 years as an Instructor and Coordinator in the Driver Safety Program for AARP.
Pete’s desire to create this memorial scholarship came about because of his love for Colorado and his roots in his hometown of Frederick.
