Thinking about you today Dad, while getting ready to watch the Super Bowl with the Borys.

Take much comfort from Judy Babiak's condolences and messages. You had a wonderful friend in her, Dad. Thank-you so much Judy for remembering and sharing over these difficult years.

Christie
I think of you often. Can't imagine what you've had to endure but ur strength is a testament to moving forward. Your dad was one of the nicest human being I was blessed to have met. I've never found a replacement and will always remember my visit only 3 days before his passing. He spoke fondly as usual, of his girls. I miss his warm smile and kindness and his wonderful care. He visited me at the RAH when I had surgeries not related to his specialty - as he made his rounds. I miss him and cannot imagine your losses. Stay strong and may you be blessed with good health and peace.
With sincere care

Dad, thinking about you, Carol, and Cathy on what would have been Carol's 46th birthday.

Carol, you were such a great sister and friend.
Love you all, always!

Hi Dad. Remembering you, Carol and Cathy this Christmas Eve.

Miss and love you guys always!

PS Your good friend Judy Babiuk's words always mean so much

Wishing you a Merry Christmas with your girls in heaven. Remembering you with fondness and respect. Visited ur gravesite and ur girls. You always said not to worry about you retiring - we'd grow old together. Saw you the Friday before your passing. Still hard to accept and believe. You will always be special to so many people. Remembered Trudy bringing the girls to Dr Charles P dental office. He has now passed away, too. Also being neighbors with Steven and Effie A. You always spoke kindly about your girls - going to Japan with a bunch of kubbie (lol). Christie has had a lot to live through. Guide and protect her. You were a good person and father. Rest in peace and Merry Christmas!
With appreciation and regret

Hi Dad. Thinking of you, Carol, and Cathy on Carol's anniversary. Miss and love you guys always!

Dad, thinking about you on your birthday. Miss and love you, Cathy and Carol always!

Fond memories of a wonderful man. We say hi every time we pass the cemetery. You were one of a kind. Rest peacefully and thanks for being so great to us

Dad...it has been 9 years since you suddenly passed. It has been really tough and I miss you very much. I think of you often. It is comforting to know you, Cathy and Carol are all together.

Love you all, always!!

Happy new year in heaven Dr Traff. Hope you and ur girls are together.

Hi Dad. Thinking and remembering you, Cathy and Carol this Christmas morning. We had some great X-mas mornings with you helping me prepare the turkey before diving into opening the stockings and gifts.
Then having anyone and everyone over, who needed somewhere to go for a great meal, and a VERY festive time. Those Christmases turned out to be legendary as people still talk about them to this day. Your memory lives on.
Love to you, Dad, Carol and Cathy ALWAYS!

Dad, thinking of you tonight and wanted to write. Really have missed you over these last difficult couple weeks. Knowing you are at peace brings me comfort. Lots of love to you, Cathy and Carol, always.

Thinking and missing you Dad, on what would have been your 81st birthday.
Love you always!

Remembering a terrific man who is missed greatly. We say hello every time we pass ur resting place with ur two girls. Thanks for being who you were. Rest peacefully

Thinking of you and remembering the wonderful man and friend you were.. Always in my heart..

Happy New Year's Eve, Dad, Carol and Cathy.

Thinking of the 3 of you while saying good-bye to 2014. I still miss you guys so very much. The sadness is not as overwhelming and frequent though. So that is helping.

For 2015, I hoping for truth, justice and a new chapter of life.

I love you all and miss you. You guys are always and forever in my heart.

Love,
Christie

It would have been your 80th birthday today. Yesterday, a number of us were at the graves remembering you, Cathy and Carol. We all love you, Dad!

Love always,
Christie

Remembering you and said hello to you at your resting place. You were an amazing doctor and friend. Rest peacefully

Hi Dad,

It is 7 years since you were taken from us. Some days it seems like 100 years ago, and some days it seems like yesterday.

Knowing, you, Dad, Carol and Cathy are all together and are all in a better place, brings me much comfort.

Tonight, Andrea, Helene and I will be remembering you and celebrating your life. We are so grateful that you, Dad, were such a big part of ours.

Love always,
Christie

Yet, I think and miss you guys everyday!

Hi Dad,

Missing you, Carol and Cathy on this Christmas. This is the first one without any of you. It is really tough.

I pray you are all at peace and happy. I know you guys are there when I need you which brings me a lot of comfort.

Love and miss you always,
Christie

Hi Dad,

It is 6 years ago today that you were taken from us. Sometimes, it feels just like yesterday. Though I miss you, I take comfort knowing you, Carol and Cathy are together. I love you all, always!

Christie

Dad,
I hope you, Carol and now Cathy are together.
I miss all of you so much!

I love you all and take comfort in knowing you guys are in a far better place.

I will get through this, cause I know my family are watching over me.

Love always,
Christie

Dr. Traff,
Please welcome your angel as she arrives to join you - Cathy, who loved you as much as you did her. Pass guidance and peace and your love to Christie who has endured so much as she needs to be strong. Watch over her and let her know she can make it through this very difficutlt time. Miss you so very much and will stop by to say Hi in a few weeks as we head out camping. Thank you for all you have been and done for us...have not yet found a replacement....Rest in peace and may God bless Christie ! Judy Babiuk

I was just speaking to a coworker the other day about Dr. Traff and how he was a great doctor (delivered both my children). I wasn't aware that he had passed away but am sad to hear that he has. He was a very caring person!

Another Father's Day coming and we still miss you. It's been almost 2 years since you died and it feels like yesterday. Love Cathy & Christie

Dr Traff, Christmas has come and gone once again and as always I am reminded of you as I look into the eyes of the latest addition to our family. She is absolutely beautiful Dr Traff and once again you had something to do with it. You had a hand in the miracle of Jasna Danai and she as both my boys will know that before and after your death you were an angel of miracles. I miss you dearly Dr Traff and I just wanted you know that not a day goes by that I don't think of you and thank you for the 3 beautiful gifts you helped give me and my family. So I just wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you again,
Madeleine Pailamilla

A good friend, a great doctor, forever in my heart. thinking of you often.

Dad,
Another Christmas without you. Is it supposed to get easier?

We love you and miss you.

August 24 - it's one year yesterday since you died and it's been a very difficult time.
We love you, miss you and we pray for you often!
Cathy & Christie (and Brutus)

It's Father's Day and we miss you. It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Dad
We miss you. Father's Day is coming and it will be our first one without you. Love Cathy & Christie

It seems that even from from heaven Dr Traff does amazing work. I wrote once before but I just wanted to add that since his passing I still continued to try and concieve again, although Dr. Traff is physically gone he is still in my heart and I prayed to him many times for his help and like I had mentioned before he is an angel sent to do gods work. I found out that I am not only pregnant but I am pregnant with twins. Dr Traff, I just want to say that I miss you very much and you continue to be a very important part of my life. My husband and I thank you for all the blessings you have given us. Thank you and we miss you.

Jan 10, 2008:
CATHY AND CHRISTIE,
As mentioned previously, your father was special; we visited his gravesite and I have not been able to bring myself to find a replacement. My heart goes out to you girls. Take care and God bless you.
Judy Babiuk

Dad
Merry Christmas. Wish you were here with us. Christmas is not the same without you. Love always, Cathy & Christie

I am truly sorry for your loss. Dr. Traff was my Dr. for many years and performed many surgeries on me for a variety of reproductive problems. Once again I went to see him for pain in my side (thinking it was another cyst on my ovary) Dr. Traff examined me and ordered a pregnancy test. "Just to rule it out" he said. I was to get the results the following week. Something prompted me to go back to his office and see him before he left for the end of the day. He was so happy to see me and when he told me I was indeed pregnant I was floored. I said "are you sure?" "are you positive?" "How did that happen?" "Well he said... I said "you know what I mean" and all the while he was laughing at me and my amazement. I was almost 4 months along and in shock. I was very ill during my pregnancy and he took very good care of me. I delivered jan 2000 In fact I was back having my second son in Dec. of that same year. I owe it all to Dr. Traff. He took care of me long before, during and after. I have two of the most amazing boys in the world. My youngest has been saying for 3 years now he wants to be a doctor. My husband and I have been feeding his medical curiosity with any teaching material available (he is now 6) I only hope he that should he become a doctor, then he will devote and dedicate himself to being the best he can be for his patients. Just as Dr. Traff did for his. The world lost a truly kind, caring, and top notch Doctor.

I have just learned of the sudden passing of one of the greatest doctors ever. Dr. Traff was the kindest doctor, always patient to answer any and all questions. My husband, who is left-handed asked Dr. Traff if being left-handed would hinder him from cutting our daughter's umbilical cord and Dr. Traff patted him on the shoulder and said "No son, the scissors work for left and right-handed people. He was a truly gifted doctor and a wonderful, loving person. Our prayers our with the whole family.

Sincerely,

Only time can heal what reason cannot. With heartfelt sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues.

I am incredibly overcome with emotion over the passing of such an amazing, wonderful, man. My heartfelt sympathies are with the entire family during this most difficult time. I was proud to call him my Dr. and I know he will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. I will miss him terribly…

I am deeply saddened by the news of Dr.Traff's passing. He was a wonderful Dr. I don't know if anyone could come close to his bedside manner and the way he was so warm and caring to his patience. Dr.Traff saved me from a great deal of pain and was never afraid to run tests to get to the problem. My daughter had just started seeing Dr.Traff as well.
Rest in Peace you will be sadly missed.

I am truely saddened at the loss of Dr Traff. I feel I have lost not only a great Dr. but a friend. It was some years ago that after being told at a young age of 30 that after seeing a number of Dr's. they all had recommended that I give up wanting children and have the final surgry to put me out of all my pain. It was finding Dr Taff that stated some powerful words to me. Dr. Traff stated that all the pain that I would have experiened trying to have a child would all be forgotten the day I have and hold that child. It was a number of surgeries and painful injections and all the hopeful words that I needed to hear at every visit that kept me hopeful. Years in and I was ready to let them take it all out.. and be childless. Today I have two wonderful boys 3 year old Braxton and 7 month old Drayden. I always stated to DR. Traff with his great sense of homour that he had just as much part in this if not more as my husband. We would laugh. in fact it was his great sense of houmor that would make it a joy to see him. I am thankful and a better person for ever meeting DR. Traff I am the mom I always wanted to be. God Bless you, for being my angel here on earth. And now you are the true
angel you always were to many. God Bless. Karen

It is with absolute heartbreak that I wish the family deepest sympathy on the passing of such a beautiful person. Dr. Traff was my Doctor for over 25 years and without him, My life may have been lost, He saved me from such pain. I always looked forward to my appointments to see his bright smile and tell him a joke to get to hear his laugh. I will hold his laughter dear and wish peace for the family. Dr. traff, to me you were a saint sent to help women on this earth! Thank-you.

I AM SO SORRY DR.TRAFF HAD TO GO. HE WAS MY DOCTOR FOR 5 YEARS AND HELP ME A GREAT DEAL BEFORE AND AFTER HE DELIVER MY SON IN 2000 WHO WAS VERY ILL. HE WAS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD WHICH WAS A NICE CHANGE AND HE NEVER RUSH YOU OUT OF HIS OFFICE. YOU WILL BE MISSED THANKYOU FOR HELPING SO MANY.

Dr. Traff was a wonderful Doctor and human being. I just found out today of his passing and am very saddened. He delivered my son 30 years ago. When my husband passed away suddenly five years ago he was there for me always caring for my well being. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Dr. Traff was kind and always took the time to talk. When he asked me on one of my visits about my son I told him I had two grandsons now. He invited me into his office to share my pictures of them with him. I will miss him dearly and will never be able to replace him as a Doctor and freind. To his family, please take comfort in knowing that he was a man with integrity and class as a person and a Doctor. He touched many lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The medical community has lost an incredible doctor. I'll always remember him for his compassion, warmth and beautiful personality. His gentle smile and patience will be missed. He had the amazing ability to put me at ease every time I saw him. I'm so thankful he was my doctor. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and collegues.

It is so painful to hear that Dr. Traff passed away. He was the best doctor. I had been seeing him for about 20 years. He always had smiles on his face. I miss him so much.

Dr. Traff has been my doctor since Dr.Burnett retired. He always had a smile for his patients. He will be missed.

I was very sorry to hear the sad demise of Dr. Traff, upon my return from overseas. Dr Traff had been my doctor for over 25 years. He was a kind and caring doctor. No words can express his dedication to his work. He will surely be missed.

My condolences to the family and I pray that his soul may rest in eternal peace, Amen.

I was very sad when I heard that Dr. Traff passed away. To me he was the best doctor ever. He deliverd my brother and I and he was my doctor through my son's pregnancy. When he say my son he told me, "You make beautiful babies". He was also treating me on my second pregnancy, I'm 7 months pregnant and I really wish Dr. Traff could have met my new baby to come. I will miss him dearly, he was so nice and caring towards his patients. God Bless him and may he rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Traff. I was a patient of his for over 20 years. Not only did he save my life once but, twice. My amazing friend will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Bless his family.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Traff. He was my doctor for almost 30 years and always a gentlemen. He will be greatly missed

DR. TRAFF WAS A PART OF MY LIFE FOR OVER FORTY YEARS . I WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH . MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIS LOVED ONES AT THIS VERY SAD TIME .

Dr Traff was my doctor for over forty years and delivered our son
and daughter. He was a wonderful doctor and a very compassionate
and understanding person. May he rest in peace. My sympathy to the family.

We owe Dr. Traff such a debt of gratitude - each time we see our beautiful grandchildren - 2 of whom are miracle babies. More recently another granddaughter was able to give birth to a son and is even now carrying her second child - all due to the great work of a skilled physician and surgeon - how we love him - never having met him, we now mourn his passing and know there has to be a special place in heaven for such a rare human being.

To the Family & Friends of Dr. Traff

Dr. Traff as you know was a very caring, kind, unselfish and thoughtful man who made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable.
He was the only Doctor I trusted with my future and life for over 20 years.
His memories will be in many hearts forever.

I was shocked and deeply saddened upon learning that my doctor and friend, Dr. Traff, had passed away - he had been my doctor for 40 years- he was always there for me and delivered my two children. I always looked forward to my appointments with him- we chatted about many things including vacations and families. Even living on Vancouver Island did not stop me from seeing him as my doctor. My deepest sympathies to his family - he will never be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so very sorry to hear of Dr. Traff's passing. He will live in my memmories. I worked with him at Hinton Health Care Center. He was very much a people person and we had many great laughs.
My sympathies to Julie and family.

It is with the deepest sorrow that we must say good buy to a beautiful person and a great doctor. Dr Traff will be greatly missed no one will ever be able to take his place. My sincere condolances to the family.

I was very sad to hear of Dr Traff's passing. I just saw him in June. He was a very nice, sincere man. He was the first person I saw when he delivered me 40 years ago at the RAH. He was a resident then. He also delivered my first daughter 9 years ago. I have nothing but fond memories of him. The City of Edmonton has lost a wonderful, caring and skilled physician. My condolences to his family.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. He was a very warm and caring man who really took time to listen to his patients.

I am very saddened by the loss of a great man,and Doctor he was and is the greatest doctor I have every known.I am very sorry for your loss of a great father and husband.god bless all of you .
