Musician's Legacy Lives On After Tragic Loss

Tri Huu Trinh, a 72-year-old Medford resident, was tragically found in Boston Harbor on May 13. Trinh, a Vietnamese immigrant, was remembered by loved ones as a passionate musician, devoted father, and pillar of his community.

He arrived in the United States during the war, working diligently to build a life based on opportunity and hope for his children. Trinh previously owned and managed Main Street Variety in Medford before retiring.

Music was Trinh's greatest passion, and he was well-known in the Vietnamese community as DJ Tri Hai Au. He spent weekends entertaining at various gatherings, finding joy in bringing people together through music.

Beyond music, Trinh enjoyed soccer and sharing stories of his childhood in Vietnam, preserving traditions for future generations. He is survived by his former spouse, three children, two grandchildren, and extensive family.
