Dr. Richard Albert Worthington

I got my commercial and instrument pilots license with Doc. What a patient gentleman. Just goes to show how much someone can affect your life. I was just looking him up online because I was thinking about him and how he affected my life. Then seen the unfortunate news of his passing. To his loved ones I hope that's a sign of how special he was to many people, that we never forget. God speed Doc. I'll see you in the clouds my friend.

Many people did not know Doc was a Flight instructor. I got my pilot license with Doc as my flight instructor. As I fly with Georgia Civil Air Patrol I sometimes feel I can hear Doc talking to me instructing me what to do. Ruby and I have talked about all the good times we had with Doc and Nancy. He has been greatly missed in our lives. His memories will last a life time . Our prayers and thoughts go out to our dear friend Nancy.

I played under Doc many times- as a violinist and later with him in a concert with my husband as pianist with the South Arkansas Symphony. What fond memories- he had a great impact on the arts in North La. and Southern Ark. which made all of our lives richer as a result! What a great man and musician!

I worked very close to Doc when he first came to Arkansas. I have great respect for him. I knew Nancy, David and Bryan. My condolences to the family.

Dear Nancy and family may the Lord comfort you during this time of grieving. Doc was such a wonderful musician and I know he is playing for King Jesus now with the host of angles.
In Loving Memory,
