MINIER
- In July, 2010 friends, family and colleagues of former police
officer Robert “Bob” Quarello organized a youth scholarship to honor
Quarello’s commitment and service to area communities and youth in
those communities.
|
Quarello, 55, passed away unexpectedly on June 28, 2010 leaving a
void within the law enforcement community. Quarello committed over
forty years of service to serving the public as a police officer,
9-1-1 dispatcher, EMT, D.A.R.E. officer, and advisor for the Law
Enforcement Explorer Program.
Since the scholarship’s inception, a total of $10,750 has been
granted to area students to assist them with their advancement in
education in criminal justice or related fields.
The scholarship fund received generous support from the communities
where Bob Quarello made his greatest impact in people’s lives. The
committee works tirelessly to continue a legacy that Quarello
created – helping youth in the communities he served, and furthering
support for criminal justice.
A fried chicken and spaghetti dinner scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2
p.m. Sunday, November 8th, at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 715 N.
11th Street in Pekin. The event will feature chicken, spaghetti,
salad, bread and tea or coffee. Desserts and carry-outs will be
available.
