The Passing of Fr. Tom Tifft

Here is a link to Fr. Tifft's obit, as printed in the News-Herald.  What is  left out is the soul, the spirit of the man. I hope there's someone out there who knows more of his story. I think he once told me that he grew up in the Collinwood neighborhood, near the New York Central Railroad yards, and was part of the St. Joseph parish (where many of my Fitzpatrick cousins went to church and school). I believe Fr. Tifft graduated from St. Joseph High School in Cleveland in 1959. He was ordained a priest in 1969. I will correct any of this info if I find it to be incorrect.

Rest in Peace, Fr. Tom!
