John Pitt Memorial Scholarship

John grew up in Amherst Junction, the son of Pat and Connie Pitt, who were also lifetime community members. John worked at Pavelski Farms during the summers while attending high school. He married his high school sweetheart, Judi Suski, and they raised their children in Amherst. He enjoyed supporting his children and grandchildren throughout all life’s endeavors. He became very involved in the community through Amherst athletics and rarely missed an opportunity to watch his kids’ or grandkids’ events. The community became his family and he enjoyed visiting with others, sharing stories and lots of opinions. He worked as a millwright for 35 years and retired to care for Judi while she battled ovarian cancer. John loved to see students and athletes excel and stay involved in the community. He believed strongly that athletics helped build the foundation for so many lifelong skills. He would be honored to help support a student’s dream by providing this scholarship opportunity.
