Dear Gail, Jason and Kate, I only was privileged to work with Dr.Tifford for a short time when he was practicing on Summer street in Stamford, but I consider myself lucky to have known him for the wonderful, warm caring man he was. I just learned of his passing a few months ago and am terribly sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful human being who spoke fondly of his family every chance he could. My deepest condolences to your family and friends. Wishing you warmth and comfort. Doreen...

Dear Mrs. Tifford, I am not sure how if ever you will receive this message but I need to write to you about Your wonderful husband. I worked with your husband at the orthopedic office on Summer street in Stamford for about 3 years. I am currently employed by a pain management provider in Fairfield and today a representative from a company came into my office today and recognized me from when I worked with Craig years ago and told me that he had passed away. I cannot imagine what you must be...

I first met Craig as my orthopedic surgeon in 2013, then later when my husband and I took over The Fez, in downtown Stamford, we used to love when Suburban Chaos came to play. Craig would setup his drum kit, and I remember asking him about the really nice pillow he was placing in the base drum, he said shhh... don't tell me wife! Always a smile on his face. Our deepest sympathies. He will be missed by so many.

I broke my collarbone on Christmas Eve 2011. It was as bad a break as can possibly happen. Several Orthopedists wouldn´t even see my once they received my X-Ray from the local hospital. I was expecting to be disabled for the rest of my life. Dr. Tifford not only saw me during the holiday week, but told me that he was looking for a patent to be the first to undergo surgery using a new technique he had developed for repairing severe clavicle breaks. Not only did this technique fully restore my...

So saddened by this terrible news. I am an anesthesiologist who worked with craig and duby in the old days at the surgical center. Excellent clinician, great to work with. Sincerest condolences.

I am so sorry to hear of Dr Craig Tifford's passing. Craig was a boss, mentor and friend for many years while working with him as a PA. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge in orthopedics and sports medicine working with him over the years. We shared many interests and had a lot of great times. He will be dearly missed. Gail, keeping you in my thoughts during this sorrowful time.

On behalf of the Board and myself, we offer our Deepest Condolences.

Dr.Tifford was my son Dr for both surgeries.He was an awesome person may his soul Rip and may his family find the strength to go on
