Quintessential husband, father, friend, historian, humorist, storyteller,

Jolissaint (Mark); Melissa T. Porretto (Lloyd); and Angela T. Luksch (Chris); 
one son, Tim Trapani; son-in-law Ki Hummel and daughter-in-law Margaret Berlin 
Trapani Soniat; 25 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. 

Predeceased by sons Charles “Chuck” Trapani, Sr. and Christopher Trapani; 
daughter Judy T. Hummel, and two brothers and two sisters. For 68 years he was 
the beloved husband of the late Pearl Eleanor Johnson Trapani. He is the son of 
the late Estelle Morlas Trapani and August Trapani, Sr.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the memorial mass at 
St. Benedict Catholic Church, 20370 Smith Rd., Covington, LA 70435 on Thursday, 
February 28, 2013 at 11:00 AM. Visitation, AT THE CHURCH, from 10:00 AM until 
service time. A reception will follow the services in the church hall.

The family offers a special thanks to St. Tammany Parish Hospital for their 
benevolent care and especially to the loving staff of Village of the Oaks where 
he flourished and thoroughly enjoyed his life for the last three years.
