Peter G. Trama Sr., WWII and Korean war veteran
THOMPSON — Peter G. Trama Sr., 97, of Totem Pole Drive, died May 11, 2023, at the home of his daughter Dolores. He was the husband of the late Dorothy (Lemoine) Trama. Born in 1925 in Thompson, he was the son of the late Salvatore and Vincenza (Credendino) Trama.
At 17, with WWII in full swing, Peter embarked on his first career serving in the U.S. Merchant Marine aboard vessels owned by Standard Oil of New York.
While serving as a merchant mariner, he transported oil across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. His numerous voyages included journeys through the English Channel, Mediterranean and Aegean Seas, four trips through the Suez Canal and 16 through the Panama Canal. He enjoyed telling family and friends about his time visiting ports in distant countries, including Aruba, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Curacao, Kuwait, New Guinea, Trinidad, and Venezuela to name a few. While describing his adventures, he would always exclaim “Believe me, the ocean is BIG!”
After WWII, he continued to serve as a merchant mariner until he was drafted by the U.S. Army for service during the Korean war. While serving in the Army, he was stationed in Bremerhaven, Germany.
In 2020, Peter received the Merchant Mariners of WWII Congressional Gold Medal for dedication, heroism, and service from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration. Also in 2020, the U.S. Department of Commerce presented Peter with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coin, recognizing him for aiding the war effort by delivering critical supplies.
In 1953, Peter met Dorothy, “the most beautiful girl in the room,” at a dance at the Italian Club in Putnam. They were engaged a few months later and married in 1954.
They were married for 67 years and raised their four children in Putnam. He credited his happy relationship to having lots of love with a little bit of luck, sharing in chores around the house, and trying to remember dates. In addition to being a devoted husband and father, he was an entrepreneur at heart and had a relentless work ethic, a trait he was proud to pass on to his children and grandchildren.
After running a gas station for a few years, he bought Tony’s Package Store, proudly running it for 30 years. Upon his retirement, he spent several years working for Putnam Ford delivering cars throughout the Northeast.
After years of winning over new friends on his travels with his genuinely warm personality and sense of humor, he retired again to care for Dorothy.
He was an active member of the Putnam community and enjoyed socializing with the local citizens, business owners and politicians, many of whom he considered good friends.
He was a proud member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #574 in Putnam for 75 years. As a regular fixture in the Lodge’s weekly pitch league, he was a crowd favorite, routinely beating younger (but not sharper) opponents and was named the Lodge’s Elk of the Year in 2001.
He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus, the American Legion, the Putnam Lions, Putnam Little League, the VFW, and volunteered at the Circle of Fun at St. Mary’s Church. Throughout his life, he enjoyed working in his large garden every day during growing season, and was known for sharing his vegetables with friends, neighbors, and the local food pantry.
His hobbies included reading the New York Post, watching Red Sox and Yankees baseball, investing, volunteering, spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and making new friends anywhere he went.
He leaves his children, Dolores (Michael) Walsh, Peter G. (Susan) Trama Jr., Paul (Susan) Trama, and Steven (Janet) Trama; his grandchildren, Stephanie (Dillon) Serdechny, Karyn (Timothy) Barentine, Timothy (Erin) Trama, Jennifer (Greg) Sanborn, Brandon (Allison) Trama, Ashley Trama (Tonya Van Deinse), Logan Trama, and Aaron Trama; and his great grandchildren, Charlotte, Delaney, Taylor, and Patrick Trama and Sawyer and Declan Sanborn. He was predeceased by his sister Carmella Landry and his brother Constantino Trama.
Visitation is from 5 to 7 p.m. May 19 in the Gilman Funeral Home and Crematory, 104 Church St. A gathering will begin in the funeral home at 11a.m. May 20, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 12:30p.m. in St. Mary Church of the Visitation, 218 Providence St., Putnam. Burial follows in Putnam Heights Cemetery.

PSA’s baseball team should’ve saved some of those hits and runs for later in the weekend.
After winning a mercy-rule shortened 17-0 laugher over Kents Hill in its regular-season final Saturday morning, the Mustangs lost 11-8 to Paramount Academy in a semifinal game of the Tri-State Wood Bat Championships later in the day, then fell 5-1 in the consolation game against MacDuffie Sunday.
Things started well in both games Saturday, as Elian Torrez drove in three runs with a double to right center and Alberto Cantalini had a bases-loaded triple to stake PSA to an 8-0 lead after two innings in the first game.
Ryan Hines (three hits, four RBI) blooped a two-run single in the third for a 10-0 lead, before Torrez, Junior Mesa, Dereck La Riva, Eric Ruan, Hines again, and Jesus Fermin all delivered run-scoring hits in a seven-run fourth inning.
Lucas Bertram was the beneficiary of all the run support, as he struck out a school record 11 over five innings for the win.
A few hours later, Chris Almanzar homered on the first pitch of the game to jumpstart a five-run first inning, but PSA couldn’t hold on as some shaky defense led to its downfall against Paramount.
Omar Burgos had three hits and three RBI, and Elian Torrez finished with three hits in the loss.
Jacob Hines struck out seven batters in 4 2/3 innings.
Sunday, PSA’s bats couldn’t muster enough scoring chances to support Harry Roy in its final game of the season.
Junior Mesa drove in the Mustangs’ lone run with a second-inning single.
Roy pitched well, giving up a lot of soft contact that found safe landing spots early in the game then falling victim to an error that led to two runs.
PSA finished its inaugural return season with a very respectable 13-12 record and set the stage for the program to continue growing into one of the premier programs in New England.
“There’s not a lot to say about the game,” coach Bob Hetu told the team afterward. “We made some key errors, they scored five runs, and we scored one.
“We played some really good baseball at times this season, and we played really average baseball at times too. But we’re learning. Grow from your mistakes, grow from challenges. I’m proud of this team.”
