Mr.Bob was a wonderful man with an amazing family. Sending love and prayers. It was a pleasure growing up next door in Sequoyah Hills!

Bob Worthington was such a possitive giving person - always working to make our community better. Thank you Bob for supporting the East TN Historical Society and your work to make the wonderful museum exhibit - Voices of the Land - happen with a $2.5 million grant being approved through Gov.

Rest In Peace dear friend!

I knew the Worthington family growing up in West Hills and many years later my husband worked in the law firm with Mr. Worthington. He was a very good man. Our prayers are Betsy and Kathy at this time.

Art. Thinking of his children and grandchildren. Sincerely, Leigh Hendry

My prayers are with his family as they...

I only had the privilege of meeting with Bob on one occasion - a BD Grey Beards weekend in Knoxville several years ago. However, his warm and friendly personality and interesting stories of the firm's founding made me feel like I had been his friend for years. I know he will be missed by his family and so many others, and I only wish I had had the opportunity to get to know him even better.
