Dr. Donald Francis TRAUB

My deepest sympathy to the family. Dr. Traub was the most important teacher in my life. I had his philosophy class in 1970 at Worcester State where he taught me two very important truths that have guided me throughout my life. First, that there is no love without commitment and second that you must stand up and take action for what you believe. He was a great man and I am so glad that I was lucky enough to have him as a teacher.

To the Traub Family--I had the pleasure of having Dr. Traub for a philosophy professor at Anna Maria College and again at Worcester State. He was a truly outstanding, gentle man of high ideals and dedication to his profession. A true philosopher in every sense of the word. He inspired his students to think and question. He required us to read Viktor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning which has guided me in many aspects of my life--including teaching a course on the Holocaust at David...

I would like to extend My condolences to you at this time. I worked at Worcester State University with Don. He was a great professor and always very pleasant. Sincerely Jean King

Don was one of the great people we're blessed with - he was a giver par excellence, and his Josie de giver will endure in me always. I hadn't seen him in years but I still remember his smile, his lit eyes, and the "stories". He and my Dad would put away a bottle of single malt scotch waxing poetically. They were cut from the same "story" mold. Our deepest condolences to all of Don's family! Linda and Joe Reynolds

I was sad to hear of the death of Dr. Traub, who was my philosophy professor at Anna Maria College. He was a most impressive person - gentle, compassionate, humorous, who radiated a love and appreciation for life. I confided in him during a personal conflict, and I remember well his message: in making a critical decision, just "listen to your heart". I followed his advice then and, in the many years to follow, it remained a guiding principle. His was a life well-lived. My deepest condolences...

Ned, Sorry for your loss I will keep you and you family in my thoughts and prayers. Joe & Vicky Barna

Please accept my wife Denise and I condolences on the loss, what a wonderful life.

I didn't know your father. But I was a student of your mother's at David Hill Fanning trade High School. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in your time of Sorrow.

On behalf of the Family of John B. Kohler (The Cowboy) we want to send our thoughts to everyone in Don's family. He was a delight whenever we would have dinner with him and all "the gang" at Broadway Proper. Many a Friday night we would sit at the back table (because we were told we laughed too much!!!) and talk about past experiences and all the news of the week. He and my husband Harry would enjoy a little bit of scotch to enhance the meal and conversation. When his daughter Evie hosted...
