- William Henry Bussiere, 66, died Sept. 15, 2011. He was born Feb. 11, 1945 in Balston Spa, N.Y. to parents Douglas and Gladys (Keane) Bussiere. He died in his home after battling cancer since February. He joined the U.S. Navy and served from 1962 to 1965 mostly aboard the USS Henry B. Wilson. In the early 1970s he moved to Kezar Falls, ME and worked as a supervisor at the woolen mill. Living in Kezar Falls gave him the opportunity to work as a farrier, go horseback riding and enjoy sleigh rides with friends. In 1994 he moved to Freedom and in 1997 he married Kathy Haley McVitty. Bill liked anything having to do with cars, whether is be racing, shows or just tinkering on them. He loved riding his Kawasaki motorcycle and taking vacations wherever the weather was warm. One special trip he took was in August 2010 to Sturgis, South Dakota. As family and friends know, one of his very special hobbies was singing karaoke. Over the years he held jobs at Thompson Center Arms, Poulin Chevrolet, Valladares Repair, Wentworth and Sons Trucking, Currier Trucking and Garland Lumber to name a few. Bill leaves behind his life partner, Kathy, of Freedom; stepson Aron and wife, Hannah McVitty, of Conway; sister, Hope Dwan, of Amesbury, Mass.; brother, Terry Bussiere, of Rochester; brother, Mark and wife, Leah Bussiere, of Kezar Falls, Maine; brother, Dan and wife, Karen Bussiere, of Hollis, Maine; granddaughter, Ariel Denae Bussiere, of South Carolina. He also leaves numerous other family members, many great friends, and his devoted canine companion, Kong. Bill was predeceased by both parents, sister-in-law, Sylvia Pappalardo, and brother-in-law, David Dwan. At his request there will be no formal services. A gathering of family and friends will begin at noon on Sept. 24 at his home in Freedom at 131 Old Portland Road to celebrate the life he lived.
