Carl Sheusi
March 5, 1934 — March 5, 2016
Carl Michael Sheusi, age 82, died March 5, 2016 after a long illness with Alzheimer's. He was surrounded by his wife Kathleen Berg Sheusi of 55 years, three children; Carolyn Sheusi Camut, Christine Sheusi Detreville and David Sheusi and his wife Lisa Keenan Sheusi and his grandchildren, Grace and David Camut, Samuel Sheusi and Alexandra and Jonathan Detreville.
Carl was born on March 5, 1934 in Niagara Falls, NY. Born to Samuel Sheusi and Phyllis Simone, he was the youngest of three children with two older sisters. He spent his childhood growing up in Niagara Falls, NY where he actively worked alongside his parents and his sisters in the family bakery and restaurant business.
He completed his education at University of Rochester in 1956, and following graduation attended the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton's School of Business. While at Penn, Carl was called to serve in the military as an officer of the United States Navy and spent most of his peacetime service at sea aboard the USS Vandivier.
In 1958, during this period of service, he met his soon to be wife, Kathleen Carol Berg, whom he celebrated marriage in 1960. "Kathy", as she was known to Carl, was his one true love. They were lovingly devoted to each other for 55 years and together, they had two daughters, Carolyn and Christine and a son David.
After his military service, Carl pursued a long and accomplished career in institutional and personal finance beginning at Alfred I. Dupont and Dean Witter in Wilmington DE, eventually making his way to the Philadelphia area where he resided on the Main Line with his family until his retirement in 2007. With his passion for all genres of music, Carl was an active volunteer and Corporate Fundraising Chairman for the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia for many years.
Those who knew Carl both personally and professionally would describe him as an authentic, compassionate, ethical and honorable man with warmth and integrity. He was a loving, sincere and trustworthy man to his family, dearest friends and colleagues. Carl's final resting place will be within Valley Forge Park where he spent many hours walking alone, holding his beloved wife, Kathleen's hand or accompanied by his children and grandchildren.
Carl's Funeral Service will be held Friday, March 18, 2016 beginning with a Family Visitation at 10:30 AM and a Memorial Mass at 11:00 AM at Saint Monica Church, 635 First Avenue, Berwyn, PA.
