Vincent Anthony Dussich, 80, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.
Born on May 2, 1945 Vincent built a life grounded in love, laughter, and loyalty. He was known for his quick wit, his generous heart, and his uncanny ability to make everyone feel at ease. Whether he was telling a story for the hundredth time or attending the grandkids sporting games or dance recitals, his humor and warmth filled every room.
Vince loved his hometown of Madison, CT where he was an avid golfer and pickleball player. He was a longtime member of the Madison Country Club, the Madison Exchange Club and was a proud board member of the Madison Beach and Rec department. He had a love of music, and was a talented guitar player. On his best days, you could find Vince on his deck, surrounded by his kids and grandkids singing and playing the guitar.
Vince was married to the love of his life, Gayle Dussich. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on December 24th 2024. Together, they built a family that was his greatest pride and joy. He was a devoted father to Jennifer D. Cunningham, Catherine Adams (Seth), Heather Paone (Frank) and a doting grandfather to Seth "Jack" Adams, Grace Adams, Caroline Adams, Kevin "Finn" Cunningham, Luke Adams, Avery Cunningham, Evalyn Paone, Edy Paone and Mimi Paone. In addition, he leaves behind dear cousins Maryann and Frank Connelly, brother Robert Dussich (Theresa) as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends who adored him.
He will be remembered for his charismatic personality, his amazing sense of humor and the way he made ordinary moments extraordinary for everyone that met him. His legacy lives on in the love he gave and the laughter and memories he left behind.
His circle of friends were more like family, bonded by years of laughter, and hours of storytelling. His cousins were among his closest confidantes, sharing decades of laughs, teasing, and family lore that will undoubtedly be passed down for generations to come.
To know my dad was to love him, and for that we will be eternally grateful.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Connecticut Hospice in Branford, CT. The family extends a heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team for their compassion, care, and gentle support during Vinces' final days. Their kindness and love toward him and toward his family made an unbearable time a little more bearable.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to:
Connecticut Hospice
