Risley Claiborne Charles Triche, also known as Pappy Triche (August 16, 1927 - June 26, 2012), was an attorney in Napoleonville, Louisiana, who served as a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1955 to 1976. Known for his flamboyance and theatrics in political circles, Triche represented Assumption Parish during his entire legislative tenure and also Ascension Parish during his last four-year term, from 1972 to 1976.
Triche was born in Napoleonville to Risley C. Triche (middle name of father not available), a planter and merchant, and the former Heloise Gilbert, the daughter of prominent sugar grower and Louisiana State Senator and Lieutenant Governor Philip H. Gilbert. Triche received his law degree in 1951 from Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge, where he was affiliated with Phi Delta Phi international legal fraternity. His classmates included future U.S. Representative Gillis William Long and state Representatives Lloyd George Teekell of Alexandria and George B. Holstead of Ruston.
