Not sure what to say?

I hadn't wanted to intrude at the time but am just remembering Dr. Hufford to a new doctor & thought I'd share what I wrote back on 11/21/12. "I'm so sad. I just learned that the warmest, kindest, most compassionate doctor, the one who took the best care of me, has passed away. Dr. Hufford was the one who first sent me to the emergency room. He was there when I had no neutrophils & they thought my condition might be turning into aplastic anemia. He said we had to try every tool...

I worked with Steve for many years. I remember the first day he walked on the floor and started working with us. He was truly a great person and a great Doctor. We all shared our families and all of their achievements with each other. He was always so proud of his family and shared all his exciting trips with us. As a doctor you could never find a more compassionate man. We truly miss seeing Steve on the floor. He always knew what to say to make us all feel better when things got tough on the...

My condolences to the Hufford family. I worked for Dr. Hufford many years ago. He assured me that he would and did, encourage me every day to return to college. I eventually became tired of his nagging and returned to college. He and his wife and at that time Justine were like my extended family. They were so nice too me. He always had a positive spirit and caring disposition. The patients' loved him. I am saddened by this news. Peace be with the Hufford family.

Dr. Hufford was my husband's doctor for two years through the ups and downs of a rare blood cancer. He intuitively knew what to say to my husband to encourage him and give him hope.
His is the epitome of a well-lived and worthwhile life.

So shocked to hear of Dr. Hufford's death. He was such a devoted doctor, family man and a dear friend. He shared many special moments with his patients. He was so proud of his two wonderful daughters and his lovely wife. I hope as this sad time passes you will only remember the happy memories he left behind.

I am very sad and shocked to hear about the recent passing of Dr. Hufford. He took over being my doctor for my follow-up post breast cancer visits when Dr. Cohen retired. I liked him from the moment I met him. He always was kind and caring, and a very good listener. I had no idea that he was carrying the burden of his own serious health problem. I too enjoyed sharing my love of Giants with him. My heart goes out to his wife and two daughters. I will sincerely miss him.

It is hard to put into words what Dr. Hufford meant to me. He was a wonderful, compassionate, caring person and a great doctor. My condolences to his family Jacqueline Bier

Hearing of Dr. Hufford's death has been and still is a huge shock. He was a fine doctor. My condolences to his family and his staff. He saw me through an unbelievable crisis. I wish I could have helped him in some way.
