Left to treasure his memory are his children, Joseph Trichell Jr. (Felicia), Neil Trichell (Susan), Lori Trichell McLemore, and Willie Trichell (Renae); along with numerous adored nieces and nephews.

He was a proud grandfather of Jacob Trichell, Justin Golson (Sydney), Emily Dennis (Stephen), Reid Golson (Maggie), Jordan Clay (Will), Katie Tremaine (Richard), Mallorie Valencia (Alvin), Cole Trichell, Anna Claire Trichell, and Ella Trichell.

Joe loved his family with unparalleled devotion and worked throughout his life to take care of them in any way he could. As a young man, he proudly served in the United States Navy and later enjoyed a long and dedicated career with Entergy, formerly Louisiana Power & Light. Joe took great pride in a home filled with loved ones and in the close bonds he shared with family and friends. His selflessness and loyalty were steady, strong, and evident in everything he did. He treasured a simple and meaningful life while loving to fish, hunt, gardening, and savor a good cup of coffee.
