Ernest Trott, a well‑known figure in Hamilton’s social and civic circles, passed away on 12 March 2026 after a long illness. The 82‑year‑old, who had lived in the city for more than six decades, was a devoted family man and active participant in a number of local organisations.

During his life, Trott served on the board of the Hamilton Community Trust and was a regular volunteer at the Bermuda Community Health Centre. His commitment to enhancing community services earned him a place on the city’s Honour Roll of Service in 2018. Trott’s philanthropic efforts also extended to the youth programme at St. George’s School, where he donated funds for the refurbishment of the science laboratory.

He is survived by his wife, Margaret, and their three children, as well as five grandchildren who will miss his warm presence. Trott’s funeral services will be held at St. Jude’s Anglican Church, with a memorial luncheon to follow at the Hamilton Civic Centre. Friends and colleagues are invited to attend and share memories of a man who dedicated his life to the betterment of his community.
