Stephen Christopher Worth

Chris and I hung out together with a few other jocks in high school. We were teammates on several track and x-country squads, including the 1968 winter track team shown here. As you can see, he was smack in the middle of everything, beaming that mischievous and infectious grin. He was, and continued to be, a real joy to be around. As mentioned above, he went on to earn his living by playing music on the streets of France, Spain, Denmark and Japan, among lots of other places, and I followed...

Christopher and I had six wonderful years together. He taught me freedom. In those years, every day was new and every morning was uncertain - an exciting and welcome new experience for me. We went across country four times, once on Wilhem, the German motorcycle, for a round trip from Washington DC to LA, San Francisco, Seattle, all the way up to Banff and Jasper, and then back on the Trans-Canadian Highway. We were camping and I remember some soggy times in our tent and, one night, a...

Sending you many hugs, Diane. Lost way too soon.

"Chris has read everything and remembers it all." I don´t recall who said those words, but they stuck with me. I've often repeated them to others, adding, "But he never let his smarts ruin a good conversation." I met Chris at Kyoto International School, where his son and my son were in the same class.

A clear soul laced with whit and whimsy So sadly missed by his neighborhood and friends.

For years he brought happiness and laughs to the staff and kids at Kyoto International School. I can't listen to Ob-Ladi-oblada, Yellow Submarine, and Incy Wincy Spider, without remembering his marvelously humorous renditions when he got the whole school on their feet at the end of each assembly to dance and just go a little crazy with joy. It was so much fun. He had immeasurable talent. My deepest condolences to the Worth family.

At a loss for words.. truly. He continued to inspire an endless love for musical creativity in my oldest son. Each time we saw Chris, he always greeted us with a smile and kind words of encouragement and support. He will be truly missed, but will will do our best to keep the light of him shining through our own thoughts and actions.

My children and I enjoyed spending time with Chris so much. He always made us laugh and smile. He was so kind and we loved hearing him play his guitar and sing. He is greatly missed.
