Dr. Trichel was born January 22, 1914 in Harrisonburg, LA and passed away Monday, August 8, 2005 in Shreveport, LA. He was a lifelong member of First Presbyterian Church of Shreveport.

Dr. Trichel retired from his medical practice in 1988. He received his medical degree from LSU Medical School in New Orleans with honors and interned at Highland Hospital in Shreveport. He served in WWII in the Pacific Theater of Operations from 1942 until 1945. After serving as Chief Resident at Brigham Hospital in Boston, MA and receiving an Associate Professorship at Harvard, he returned to Shreveport as Chief Resident at Shreveport Charity Hospital. One of the medical pioneers of Shreveport, Dr. Trichel entered private practice in 1950, joined the Highland Clinic in 1952 and founded the Urology Department where he remained until retirement. During his distinguished career, he was a member of the Shreveport Medical Society, professor of Urology at LSU Medical Center, president of the Shreveport Medical Society, president of Highland Clinic and president of the Shreveport Charity Hospital. A professorship in Urology at the LSU Shreveport Medical Center was recently created because of his longtime charitable work.

His wife, Jerry Trichel and parents, Joseph Mortimer and Sarah Estelle Kelly Trichel preceded him in death.

Survivors are his sons, Charles Trichel and wife, Lee of Shreveport, LA and Jimmy Trichel of Hilton Head, SC; daughter, Cathy Trichel of San Leandro, CA; grandchildren, Melanie Trichel of Savannah, GA, Selena Trichel of Hilton Head, SC, Spence Trichel of Metairie, LA and Lee Anne Trichel of Shreveport, LA; and sisters, Joyce Martin of Winnsboro, LA and Katherine Bond of Baton Rouge, LA.

In his private life, Dr. Trichel was an avid fisherman, bird hunter, dog trainer and outdoor sportsman. Like the famous Will Rogers, he never met a man he didn't like. His grace, love of humanity and goodwill touched countless numbers of lives.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to First Presbyterian Church, 900 Jordan Street, Shreveport, LA 71101 or LSU Health Sciences Foundation, 1501 Kings Hwy, Box 105 AHB, Shreveport, LA 71103.
