On October 17, the Brockport Kiwanis Club held a formal dedication at the Seymour Library for a memorial bench in honor of Charley Duschen, long-time Kiwanis member and enthusiastic advocate for children both in our community and around the world.
Duschen, who passed away early this year, was coordinator and supporter of the Reading ‘Round the World event at the library, which is a cooperative effort of the library, the Brockport Central School District, and the Brockport Kiwanis. He was always a consistent advocate of all Kiwanis Club efforts in the community and our region. Remembering Charley Duschen were (l-r) Carl Gouveia, Kiwanis past President and director of the Seymour Library, Charley’s wife Brigitte Duschen, Dave Jewell, current Kiwanis Club President, and Rev. Steve Meyer formerly of Concordia Lutheran Church of Kendall. Charley is remembered for his faith, his good humor, his commitment and his dedication. He is sorely missed, but his memory lives on in the memorial bench dedicated in his honor.
