Vale       William Arthur [Bill]  Trousselot

It is with profound regret that we advise the passing of Bill Trousselot on Dec 3 2021 in Hobart.

Bill fought the good fight for some 14 years.

Bill’s contribution to Hobart Technical High School, Taroona High School, New Town High School, Mercantile Rowing Club, Derwent Mercantile Rowing Club, Derwent Mercantile Collegiate Rowing Club together with Rowing Tasmania's Rowing programs was long worthy and successful.

His period of involvement with rowing began in 1966 and never did he lose interest.

Bill was a life member of Derwent Mercantile and held many administrative positions.

He had great success as an oarsman and coach.

His successes were spread over School, Club, and State rowing

On two occasions he raced and coached crews to victories at The Australian Henley Regatta on Melbourne’s Yarra River.

In his later years Bill enjoyed Masters rowing interstate and domestic.

His pair partner was Dr. Bill Turner, they together enjoyed many good results at Championship regattas.

Bill’s energy and ability to work for success as a coach with oarsmen he had been given was legendary.

Bill is survived by his wife Bron, Scott, John and Anita

Sincere sympathy to his family.

Yours in Rowing
