Dr. Richard Carl "Dick" Traugott

Wonderful Friend, Mentor and Christian Man. Someone I have looked up to my entire life.

Dear Susie ,Steph, Tom, Missy, Tim, Tom and your Beautiful family. I knew your dad since before I was even a teenager. I have always looked up to him as a wonderful, Christian and roll model for my life. Many, many fond memories of Dick and Susie and your special family. I will never forget you Dick. We will meet again someday.

I worked with Dick for 5 years at Brooke. Wonderful surgeon & a real gentleman!

What a great and honorable life! Prayers for family and love to Carol who was close to my age! Friends in Ellinwood!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I was a classmate to his sister Carol and my brother Steve was a classmate to his brother Art. The Traugott's were an active family in Ellinwood. They were anchored by their Lutheran Faith. Dad was Ellinwood's funeral director, so he and Dick's dad Rev. Traugott worked together often. Dad and Rev. were involved in scouting leadership. I last spoke to Dick at one of his class reunions. His family has our deepest and most sincere sympathy. Richard & Stephen Kimple
