Not sure what to say?

Dr. Tifft introduced to me to 'White Fang' by Jack London and the Goop Tales. I met him on his sailboat with my dad at Put-in-Bay and he recited the Goop tales manners poem until I could do the same. ( I must have needed it!? ) It became familiar verbage to my children as they grew up too and they can now recite the same passage. I will forever remember him for his love of literature and poetic sense. He had a beautiful mind.

My prayers are with Dr Tifft and his family. He was instrumental in me attending Colgate University. He was a totally complete person in his own right. Condolences especially to Margie and Charlie - who I knew at Hoover High School.

To Bob,

My deepest sympathies at your loss.

To the Family of Dr. Tifft,

Dr. Tifft was my mother's doctor and delivered me. My mother talked about the difficult birth and all that Dr. Tifft in facilitiating my birth. Then some 26 years later, he was my doctor during me and my husband's first pregnancy. Dr. Tifft was always kind and he had the most gentle hands :) Both my mother and I have fond memories of Dr. Tifft. I pray that he is resting in peace and I am truly sorry for your loss.


To the family of Dr. Tifft

My sincere condolences on Dr. Tifft's passing. Dr. Tifft was my gynecologist in the 60's and delivered my son July 19, 1963 in Canton. Dr. Tifft was such a kind and caring doctor, and I remember vividly his statement upon delivering my son that each time he delivered a baby it was a miraculous and tremendous experience for him. May he rest in peace this kindly soul.

our prays are with you and your family.he is at peace now.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Sue, Barry and family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time of loss. May the Lord bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand. Although we didn't know your father, he obviously touched many lives and helped to bring many a child into this world. It is now time that he rests with the Father. Psalm 116:15.

To The Tifft Family,

I have so many fond memories of George, both as a doctor in Canton and as a sailor crusing and racing with him on White Fang his beautiful red Hinckley and he along with us on Fine Feather crewing and at times mending bumps and bruises. The sun over the yardarm was always fun with George. I know those many memories of Barbara and George will help during this sad time.
