Paul Bussiere Obituary
Paul was born on March 28, 1956 in Lewiston, Maine to Joseph and Anabelle Bussiere. Paul was a graduate of Exeter High School and went on to join the Marines. In 1975, Paul was part of a multi-unit rescue operation for the S.S. Mayaguez on the island of Koh Tang.
After his time serving for the United States Military, Paul was employed by MIT Lincoln Labs and the Smithsonian, where he worked on classified military projects. At the end of his career, he was a Thermal Electrical Engineer at Celestica, Inc.
Paul's stories of many exploits, pranks, and outdoor adventures stemmed from his love of being in the mountains with his wife, enjoying activities such as skiing, fishing, hunting, flying, hiking, cooking, and playing music. Paul's love of politics inspired him to serve as a Selectman and as chair of the Zoning Board in Twin Mountain.
Paul was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Anabelle Bussiere, and his son, Damien Bussiere.
Paul is survived by his wife of 18 years, Meredith Emery Bussiere, sisters, Celia McGuckian of Lewiston, Maine and Anita Bussiere of Tucson, Arizona, a granddaughter, grandson, and great granddaughter, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and many friends who were like family.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to organizations that Paul felt strongly about, including the Disabled American Veterans Charity (www.dav.org) or local organizations such as the Veterans2VeteransGroup (www.veterans2veteransgroup.com), New Hampshire Fish and Game (www.nhfishandgame.com/donations.aspx) or the AlderBrook Sportsmen Association (http://alderbrooksportsmensassoc.com/).

While a quiet and unassuming in his demeanor, in Paul I always sensed a fierce sense of determination in seeking what was right in all of his actions. Paul was a man to emulate.

The first time I met Paul was in Bretton Woods Ski Resort. He was a ski instructor and so was my best friend Meredith (his wife). Paul was the first man to ever make my friend smile, trust someone, and find true love. So right off I LOVED him. Throughout the years, we became closer. He would make me delicious dinners. He was a great cook and enjoyed feeding me!! The best moment ever was when he asked my best friend to marry him. One evening the three of us were sitting in my apartment and he took out a ring and both of us were like "OMG OMG" we had no idea. We were jumping up and down. That night was magical as he had a different plan for asking his wife BUT as Paul said" the time was right." Paul was a proud, loving, caring, man. Love you Paul always and forever Lisa Feole Pickett

I first met Paul at Bretton Woods Ski Resort in December of 1995. He was a new ski instructor. I quickly learned that Paul had no ego, no agenda. He was loyal. Paul worked tirelessly to improve his personal skiing, and teaching techniques. A day I will always remember was New Years Eve day...I do not remember the year. We were tasked with teaching a group of students from Ireland who had never skied. The morning was spent in the learning area practicing stopping and turning. At one point Paul relieve tension by speaking with an Irish brogue. During the afternoon session we were able to make some runs on the Avalon, and Rangeview trails. Hopefully Meredith has Paul´s ribs recipe.
