Paul Dussinger, 93
March 23, 2025
Paul completed his life’s journey on Sunday, March 23, 2025 at Lancaster General Hospital.
He was born in Lancaster, PA, in 1932 to Paul and Dorothy Dussinger. He is survived by his children, Doug (Jean) and Kim (Jay) Crow; five grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; his sister, Dottie (Ron) Croessant; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his youngest daughter, Gail Lynn; his parents; his brother, Wayne and his sister, Beverly.
Paul is survived by his partner and the “love of his life,” Patricia Brehm. They were together for over 35 years and loved each other deeply. As age created new challenges, their devotion to each other was a beautiful testimony to their love, still enjoying each other’s company even when words were no longer part of their days together. Just being together, holding each other’s hand was enough.
Paul graduated from Manheim Twp. High School, class of 1949. He participated in football (captain) and baseball and continued to play baseball and softball for many years after graduating. He discovered another sport he loved, golf, and played many rounds with his close buddies for more than 55 years! A long-time member of Conestoga CC, he was very proud of his 2 Hole-in-Ones and shot his age over twenty times playing several other local courses.
His work life was primarily in sales and marketing for various local companies as VP of Weinstock Assoc. and later, as President of a division of Jay Advertising. His greatest work accomplishment was Imagineering, his own company, of which, he was president and operated for 25 years. His creativity, hard work ethic, and love of the promotion business served him well. He was passionate about his job and never considered it work; every day was a new and exciting creative challenge!
Paul was also a huge fan of all Philadelphia sports teams, whether it be the Eagles, Phillies or 76ers, he knew all their “stats” and loved to have friendly “debates” on the merits of each!
As he always said “love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Services are being held privately at the convenience of the family.

To Pat, Doug, Kim and family, we are very sorry for your loss. Mr.Dussinger was a gem and certainly had a long life well lived. So many great memories of him over the years will bring you all great comfort and I am sure quite a few laughs as you get together to celebrate his life. When I reflect on my nursing career one of my favorite memories is when he tried to get away with a hospital admission without telling his family. I will never forget the look on his face when he saw me walk in to admit him. Bless his heart, he said “oh helI I forgot about You.” I am sure He passed on some of those great personality traits that are showing up now in the generation of grandkids making you all smile. God Bless him and I am positive he is hanging out with Gail on the Rainbow Bridge.
Love, Steve & Mary Dettinger

LEGENDS never die…and Buck was a true legend! He was a good friend and mentor to me and many others…totally unselfish at all times, doing whatever he could to help. I will miss all of the conversations we had over the years…about Philly sports, life and friends. The world lost a great one, but his spirit will live on for many years through his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and all those he touched over his 93 years. A life well lived! Love always…Craig E.
