Text	Rich Trapnell, 61, passed away peacefully on June 6, 2011, after a short but courageous battle with cancer, near his home in Kuranda, Australia. He was predeceased by his parents: Richard W. Trapnell III and Jane Trapnell Buck, as well as his younger brother, Judson B. Trapnell. Rich grew up in the Wilmington area where he attended Tower Hill School. He graduated from the Westminster School in Simsbury, CT and attended Harvard University. In 1971, Rich moved to Kuranda in North Queensland, Australia where he and several friends, also from Wilmington, started Rosebud Farm and Nursery. For the next forty years Rich planted and created a tropical garden, horticulturally renowned for its collection which he had obtained from his travels to Asia and South America. Surviving Rich are his two sons, Nathan H. Trapnell and Jonathan (Digby) A. Trapnell, both of Kuranda, Australia; his brother, George H. Trapnell and his wife Kathi of Wilmington, DE; his sister-in-law, Rose C. Trapnell of Charlottesville, VA and five nieces and a nephew. Private service and burial were held at Rosebud Farm in Kuranda, Australia.
