  • Notes 
    • Charles Anthony "Chumley" Keser, 46, of Main St., Portland, passed away peacefully Wednesday, (July 19, 2006) surrounded by his loving family. Born in Middletown, May 18, 1960, son of the late John Bransfield Keser and the late Mary Cawley Keser, he was a lifelong Portland resident who was known and loved by all in town. He was a 1978 graduate of Portland High School and was a graduate of the Manchester Community College Culinary Arts Program. Chum was employed as Food Service Supervisor for 26 years at Portland Care and Rehabilitation Center. He trained numerous aspiring young chefs and formed close friendships with a host of co-workers of all ages. Chum always showed great compassion for his patients and their families, making special efforts to brighten their lives with his personal brand of charm, wit, and ease. He gave his time and culinary expertise on countless occasions for both his numerous friends, and many local social and service organizations. Chumley loved animals and they loved him right back. Some of his favorite pastimes included softball, setback, golf, horsehoes, fishing and camping. He loved to sing, dance, entertain, and be the life of the party. Chumley was a life long Yankee fanatic, a classic movie buff, and celebrated all the holidays and his Irish heritage with pride and an unmatched exuberance. Chumley is survived by his beloved daughters: Elise M. Keser and Mary E. Keser, both of Portland; his sisters, Celia Keser and Eileen K. Sullivan and her husband John, all of Portland; and his brothers, Joseph P. Keser, Kevin J. Keser, and James C. Keser and his wife Jennifer, all of Portland; his special niece, Meagan Salinsky of Glastonbury, his other nieces and nephews, Patrick and Moira Dill and Colleen and Brian Keser, all of Portland. In Chumley's Honor, a celebration of his life is planned for Saturday, July 22, at the St. Francis Hall, Freestone Ave., Portland, from 1-5 p.m.. His family will receive relatives and friends in the Portland Memorial Funeral Home, 231 Main St., Portland, Sunday, from 3-6 p.m. Funeral services will be Monday, at 9:15 a.m. from the Portland Memorial and at 10 a.m. in the Church of St. Mary for a Mass of Christian Burial. Interment will be in St. Mary Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family would like to honor Chumley's love of animals by asking that gifts in his memory be sent to the Connecticut Humane Society.
