My deepest condolences to the Traudt and Knanishu family. I first met Chris when Nina and I were at Glenn's & JoAnn's house on Thanksgiving 2005. Chris and I joked around a lot and had a lot of laughs. I found Chris very much fun to be with. He had a great sense of humor and loved life to the fullest. He also said some things that made me realize he was very intelligent and insightful about human psychology. I would have liked to have spent more time with him. I will miss him.

I want to express my thoughts, prayers and condolences to the Traudt family and loved ones for the recent loss of Chris.
I only reconnected with "Schultzie" just within the last year, where he was showing up at the local car cruise-night in Norwood during the season on some Thursdays. He appeared far more svelte than I recalled, for I always remember him as being a mellow and robust persona, that I didn't recognize him. Some of the facial expressions and mannerisms gave him away. Sadly, he was physically slimmer, for he had taken ill. Now, he's sadly taken from us.
R.I.P. Chris "Schultz" Traudt, we miss you and will always remember you.

Chris (Schultz) - RIP - You have left so many memories that you will always be remembered by all. May your family also find peace through this trying time. Mary Henry
Chris (Schultz) - I rented a room from you in Norwood about 8 years ago, and I never saw a person with as big a heart as you. You were one awesome person. I am so lucky to have known you. RIP.
