Allan Pasco

As a student at Purdue in 1974-76, I was fortunate to have had Professor Pasco as a teacher and mentor. We stayed in touch over many years. I always enjoyed reading his letters about his life, his family, and his many professional accomplishments. I particularly want to tell Dallas how much he affected my early life and career. I cherish memories of dinner in Kansas when I was at a conference. You were very gracious and welcoming. I´m sure you miss him every day. You were his rock. Kathy...

I just heard my friend Allan Pasco's death and read his obituary. He was a great researcher and shared in his books and lectures his passion for Balzac. I am so sorry for his wife Dallas' and his children's loss, but also for the whole community of researchers' loss. May he rest in peace ! He'll survive by his work and by the memory of his beloved and friends around the world.

I was Professor Pasco's student at Purdue from 1974-76. I kept in touch with him over the years, mostly at Christmas time. He was an inspiring teacher and a genuinely good person. I kept and will cherish our correspondence. I vividly remember dinner with him and his wife in Kansas back in the mid-90s, so welcoming and hospitable. His laugh was infectious. My sincere condolences to his wife and beautiful family.

Dallas, I am so sorry for your loss of Allan. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

I was privileged to know Allan through fellowship at the Mustard Seed Church, and RevCity Church. I always appreciated his faith in Jesus and sharing in Bible study. I look forward to seeing him again one day in the heavenly Kingdom!

Allan was a fellow distinguished professor at KU. He lived a full life and was a great scholar, a credit to his profession and to KU. It was always very enjoyable to talk with him, and I will miss him, as will so many others.

I am very sorry and shocked to hear this. I used to enjoy meeting Allan in the hallways of Wescoe and chatting about trips to France. My mother always spoke of her friendship with Allan and Dallas back in West Lafayette. Both of you were very kind to me when she passed away. My condolences to everyone in the family.
