Robert S.

"Bob" Trickett

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robert S. "Bob" Trickett, aged 62, who left us on January 30, 2025, at his home in Somerville. Bob exemplified courage and grace as he battled acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for the past eight years. His family surrounded him, providing comfort in his final moments.
Born in Chelsea, Robert was the cherished son of the late George E. and Theresa (Witkowski) Trickett. He was a proud graduate of Chelsea High School, where he also participated in the Northeast Regional Vocational afternoon program, specializing in Machine Shop.
For the past 37 years, Bob made Somerville his home, where he and his beloved wife, Paula (Ferraro) Trickett, cultivated a life filled with love and devotion to family. Bob began his career as a Shipping and Receiving Clerk at Woolworths Department Store. For an impressive 43 years, he served the in-flight catering industry with Sky Chefs as a truck delivery driver, where he became known for his reliability and dedication.
In his lifetime, Bob found joy in simple pleasures: fishing, cherishing time with family and friends, and embarking on adventurous excursions to the White Mountains, Caribbean cruises, and memorable cross-country trips driving to Virginia and New Mexico. He had an infectious smile that could light up a room and a generous spirit that touched the lives of many.
Bob is survived by his beloved wife, Paula Trickett, and his devoted fatherhood to Daniel Capone, his fiancée Monique, and their children Jaryd, Josh, and Jayson of Albuquerque, NM, Robert Trickett, Jr., his fiancée Victoria "Toriee," and their children Adelyne and Robert III. Also, he is lovingly remembered as a dear brother to Donna Zybert of Newburyport, George Trickett and his wife Donna of Groveland, and the late Teresa "Terry" Torres. He is further survived by numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and countless friends.

In honoring Bob's life, calling hours and funeral services will be held on Saturday, February 8th in the Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM.  Life tributes and prayers will be conducted in the Funeral Home at 2:30 PM.  The family invites all who knew and loved Bob to join them in celebrating his remarkable life, sharing cherished memories, and offering comfort to one another during this difficult time.
