Sorry to discover this 3 yrs after the fact! Never "Dr" Trautman to me....just "Traut" at CLC. Spent many hours on Devon Island together as he took over from me as the assistant birdman. And duck hunting around New Norway. But our paths diverged. Good memories.

Oh boy was this ever a shock to read - How can the hero's go first? I, like so many feel that I wouldn't be here today if not for the skill, caring and kindness of this man. Southern Ab was so blessed to have the dedication of Dr. T. and it will be leaving a huge void.

We are so sad to hear of Al's passing. It was an honor and pleasure to know him both personally and professionally. I remember when he arrived to Lethbridge as a new surgeon - it didn't take long for his patients and colleagues to understand and appreciate what a talented and kind person he was. Those days on 2nd East at St. Michael's are fondly remembered, especially the times when he brought his kids to do rounds on the weekends, all of them in their cowboy boots :) Out thoughts are with you all. He will be missed by so many. Take care.

It has be many years since last seeing AL as we each went our own way after 12 years of being classmates, teammates in Hockey and Baseball, hunting partners, friends and sometime trouble makers. We did reconnect about a year ago during making plans for our 50 year high school reunion, which didn't happen due to the Covid shut down. We did have a great long phone call and it was as if the passing 50 years had never happened and we just picked up such an easy conversation and ended with looking forward to getting together soon and meeting each others families at the reunion. When we meet AL will be remembered with many stores and great admiration. So it is with great sadness that we must pass on our heartfelt Condolences to Geri, Victoria and Mike and all the rest of the Trautman clan.

Al was an amazing colleague and role model. He took on some of the most difficult cases in the hospital, he was not afraid of hard work, and he was the best of teammates. Somehow, he maintained that persona as a cowboy, while holding one of the most demanding and stressful jobs a person can have. I'll never forget him.
