Mr. Triboletti was a fantastic musician who loved to play numerous instruments, including the violin, the organ and the guitar, which he played with the Back Bay Strummers in Angola.

During his spare time, Mr. Triboletti enjoyed playing racquetball, bowling, loved playing double deck Pinochle and, most of all, he was an avid supporter of his children and grandchildren at their many sporting events.
