Robert "Bob & Tryke" Trousdell

Born in Tolland, CT, Bob served his Country enlisting in the U.S. Navy - serving 1979 through 1985.  Bob continued up through 2021 serving and supporting local Veterans needs via his past good standing membership in the American Veterans Motorcycle Club and as an Officer of the American Legion Post 4 out of Haverhill. There, Bob also served as Chaplin for the Legion Sons, and Sgt. At Arms with Post 4  American Legion Riders.  “Tryke” toured the roads and byways on this Harley Davidson 3-Wheel Tryke Motorcycle, down to Gettysburg and the Rolling Thunder Demonstration in Washington D.C. to remind our Government “never forget” -  honoring and remembering our POWs/MIAs. 

Bob donated his time, talents and money supporting “Bikers Helping Bikers” via the Massachusetts Motorcyclists Survivor's Funds on the North and South Shores and Worcester County, jumping in on moments notice a local riders' family was in need.  His U.S. Navy experiences on the water continued with his boating and fishing the Merrimack River. In the winter months, Bob loved being out in nature on his ATV and snowmobile, exploring the New England trails.

Bob leaves his loving wife Antonia (“Toni”); daughter Jene and her husband, Jacob, step son Chris Bahatouris; Grandchild CJ, Braydon, Aayna, Zain and Christopher; and his three buddy dogs, Buster, Angel and Omiro, and so many Brother & Sister Veterans and Motorcyclists friends, Brothers and Sisters.

Bob had a career in mechanical engineering, and could figure out and fix everything.  He was a 'Handyman's handy Man,” and more often than not donated those talents and his time to others in need.
