It is with great sadness that our family is announcing the passing of Paul F Trussell, the husband of Lois (56 years) and father to three children: Elizabeth, Peter, and James on Sunday December 3, 2023, at his home in Piermont.  He died from complications of Alzheimer's Dementia at 85.
Paul was born in 1938 – a 5 lb baby that could fit inside a dresser drawer.  He had a difficult childhood which interfered with his schooling.  Paul finally earned his GED with the help of his wife, Lois.  All three of our parents' children would go on to receive degrees beyond high school due to their encouragement.
Paul held many jobs from working in lumbering (mills and with horses to cut lumber), apprenticing with Chauncy Willey for ten years learning plumbing and electrical work, helping with the Thetford Water Works, working for Bradford Oil Company and then Dead River Company as an oil burner technician /maintenance tech before ending his working career by operating his own oil technician/maintenance business.
During these years, Paul kept taking classes that resulted in him earning his Journeyman Plumbing Licenses in both Vermont and New Hampshire.
Paul was known for not talking very much as well as being stubborn.  He was also known for having many tools and parts around his garage and trucks.  No one else understood his system, but if you asked him for something he could find it for you.  Paul was also known for his love of hunting dogs, country music and wanting to help people.
Paul is predeceased by his parents, his in-laws, his sister Jackie Brown, brothers Bob Trussell, Bruce Trussell, Roger Trussell, a niece Crystal Trussell and granddaughters Katelynn Sargent and Tiffany Sargent.
Paul is survived by his wife Lois (Bishop) Trussell, their children Elizabeth Trussell, Peter Trussell and James Trussell and his wife Ann, his youngest brother Larry Trussell, cousins Ramona Becker, Shirley Gendron, Mona Stearns and Polly Stearns, granddaughter Samantha Sargent, eight great-grandchildren and many loving nieces, nephews, and close friends.
There will be a Celebration of Life on Sunday, December 17th  from 1-3 PM at James Trussell's residence, 10 Winn Rd, Piermont, NH.  The burial will be on Tuesday May 7, 2024 at 1PM at South Lawn Cemetery in Piermont, NH.
