Obituary for Carlo Dusci
Obituary Carlo Dusci 9/24/1928 to 9/12/2021
Carlo Dusci passed away in Princeton, NJ on September 12, 2021, where he was living closer to his children for a much too brief period of time. He is predeceased by his wife, Rose, and brothers, Alfredo, Piero, Benito and Giacomino and his sister, Egle. He is survived by his two children, Eleanor (Anthony) and Carl (Karen) and his grandchildren, Elizabeth, Robert, Ella and Celia, and many nieces and nephews.
Carlo was born to Luigi Dusci and Eleonora Santoro in Jonadi, Vibo Valentia, in the Calabria region of Italy, on September 24, 1928. Carlo attended school in Italy to become an engineer and was instrumental in the design and construction of roads in his Ionadi. His children and grandchildren were able to see those roads on their trips to Italy. Carlo served in the Italian army as a lieutenant from just after the end of WWII up until 1953 when he traveled to the United States in the hope of bettering his chances at a happy, successful life, in other words, to pursue the American Dream and to be with his wife, Rose (or Rosina as he affectionally called her). He quickly learned the English language at night school and started work at a machine shop. Within a few years he was the supervisor and then bought the business in the early 1960s. Carlo was very proud of his Gear and Instrument manufacturing business and the work that he did for the US and NYC governments to supply gears for military equipment and for the NYC MTA. Carlo enjoyed life; you could always see him engaged in conversation with family or friends or perhaps even a stranger. He loved people and loved to have a good time. He was most happy with his wife and family; he always wanted his family to be together and share a meal or a drink; diet coke and red wine seems about right.
Carlo’s children and grandchildren are lucky to be able to have heard his remarkable stories about his years in Italy during WWII. In particular, his grandson, Robert, a student of history, has enjoyed and recorded this for the family.
Carlo was a member of the Moose Lodge on 18th Ave in Brooklyn for many, many years. He enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie of the guys at the Moose Lodge and although he was the most senior in the last years it did not hold him back. Over the years, Carlo enjoyed playing cards with his Moose brothers once or twice a week and their trips to restaurants and birthday celebrations.
To all his friends and family we would want you to consider if you know the answer to this riddle? What is a 1/3 and a 1/2 of a hundred? We’re not telling the answer.
As Carlo would say things could be better or could be worse; we will remember him as full of life and always quick with a joke or a helping hand if needed. He will be sorely missed.
