Childhood memories: being a Boy Scout; in Baltimore on Good Friday 1925 he was hit by a car (the driver claimed the sun was in his eyes) and sustained a broken ankle; broke his left arm and tried to hide the injury from his mother because doctors cost money, eventually the greenstick fracture was discovered, the arm was re-broken and set; in Baltimore in 1926 his front teeth got chipped when Duncan McPhail kicked him in the mouth. In 1930 Eastman Kodak celebrated 50 years of business and gave away a Brownie camera to every 12 year old. Dad qualified and got one! He graduated second in his class from Arsenal Technical High School, Indianapolis IN, in 1935 at age 17. During the Depression he joined the CCC and planted trees in Wisconsin. In Milwaukee by 1935, he worked at Ben’s Radio Service Store (419 E.

In Shrivenham, England he got involved with AFN Radio which took him to London and there he stayed until it was time to return home. While waiting he was able to visit relatives on his mother’s side in Scotland. On March 14, 1946 he arrived ‘home’ at the farm in Bear Creek, WI where Evelyn was then living with her parents. Thanks to a recommendation from Mrs. Collice Harper, Charles started work at the Wisconsin Telephone Company in Milwaukee on April 15, 1946. He started out climbing poles and installing phones in homes and continued his contribution as AT&T made advancements in the telecommunications industry until his retirement. In September 1946 Charles and Evelyn purchased a house on Hubbard Street in Milwaukee making their home and raising their family with a son, Frederick and a daughter, Cheryl. They became members of Jerusalem Lutheran Church. Charles was a Ham Radio Operator. He received his Amateur Radio license and FCC call letters W9CUW on February 17, 1939. He was an active member of MRAC (Milwaukee Radio Amateur Club), ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League), BEARS (Bell Employee Amateur Radio Society), the Kilocycle Club, and a life member of QCWA (Quarter Century Wireless Association). Wherever he resided he maintained a ‘ham shack’ in the house, and had mobile units in his ‘46 Nash and ‘56 Chevy vehicles which displayed WI Amateur Radio license plates with his call letters W9CUW. He attended many Dayton, OH Ham Conventions. [In Ham Radio lingo he is now a Silent Key] On July 7, 1976 Charles retired from AT&T. He and Evelyn moved to Evelyn’s family farm in Bear Creek, WI and maintained residence there for 40 years. Always in good health, Charles worked tirelessly and effortlessly to transform the rustic farm property into a gentlemen’s country estate. They joined Trinity Lutheran Church, got reacquainted with cousins and neighbors and became involved with the community. Charles installed life lines for seniors at home as an AT&T retiree volunteer. They traveled throughout the United States, to Europe and the Holy Land. Important travels: on June 1, 2010, Charles took his Old Glory Honor Flight. This was a very big deal. A one-day trip to Washington DC to see the WWII Memorials was highlighted by a surprise visit from his grandson Matthew who showed up in his full dress blue Army uniform. Later that year, he and Evelyn traveled to see their only two grandchildren get married: Matthew in Savannah, GA and Annie in Durango, CO. Charles and Evelyn were married 70 years on April 23, 2014. After Evelyn passed away on December 21, 2014, Charles moved to St. Joe’s Residence in New London, WI.

Charles is survived by his son Frederick (Mary Ann) and daughter Cheryl of Milwaukee; grandson Matthew (Kristen) Dawson of Warminster, England; granddaughter Annie (Jay) Willmon of Farmington, NM; great-grandchildren: Abigail, Katherine and Charlie Dawson; Brooks and Chamonix Willmon. Also survived by a sister, Dorothy Jean Marinkovich of Mission Viejo, CA. Charles was Godfather to Julie Kaye (Walker) Wurth of Manawa WI.

Brother Alois H. Dorsey, SJ, died Feb. 20, 2017 in St. Louis, Mo. He was 88 years of age and a Jesuit for 67 years.

Remembered for his quiet life of service and ministry of presence, his life will be celebrated in a Mass of Christian Burial at 7:00 p.m., Monday, Feb. 27 at St. Francis Xavier College Church in St. Louis. The visitation will be held for three hours beforehand in the same location. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis.

He was born in St. Louis on February 26, 1928 to Eugene Dorsey and Theresa Goestenkors Dorsey. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, James W. Dorsey and Edwin R. Dorsey. He is survived by his brother Eugene J. Dorsey. He entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) at St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant, Mo., on April 21, 1949. He took his first vows on April 22, 1951 and pronounced final vows in 1960. While he had training as a printer and a baker, it was as a cook that he is most remembered. Over the course of more than 40 years, he served in the kitchen, at St. Stanislaus Seminary in Florissant, at Fusz Memorial in St. Louis, at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo. and finally at the Jesuit Novitiate in Denver. For many years, in addition to his regular ministry during the year, he was the cook at the Waupaca villa during the summer. He helped to establish the Miguel Pro House, an apostolate of presence in the Denver Hispanic community and served there from 1995 to 2004, then served in pastoral ministry in Denver until he moved to the Jesuit retirement community in 2015. On the occasion of Br. Dorsey’s 50th anniversary as a Jesuit, in 1999, Superior General Peter Hans Kolvenbach, SJ, noted that much of Br. Dorsey’s apostolic life had been spent in the kitchens of the formation houses and that his meals “helped sustain many young Jesuits through all sorts of circumstances — from the challenges of ‘ordinary time’ to the graces of long retreats and the relaxation of summer villa.” He went on to observe, “In addition to the bodily sustenance given to so many all these years, you have given your quiet, gentle, loyal personal support to friends and family — a kind of sustenance even more important than food!”
