Ward Curtis Worthington Jr, M.D.

Dr. Worthington was a brilliant scholar and scientist, and a genuinely nice man. I believe that his discovery of the basis for the circulation of the CSF, which was analogous to William Harvey's discovery of the blood's circulation, is of Nobel Prize level merit. I was privileged to know both him when I attended the Medical University of South Carolina, and also his son, Ward Curtis Worthington, III when we were students at Porter-Gaud. May God bless Dr. Worthington's soul.

Dear Dr. Worthington,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of your beloved father.
Though I had no opportunity to meet or know him, I do know his spirit and legacy live on, within you.
Warm regards and very sincerely, Yours- RHB

Curtis Worthington was the epitome of a scholar and a gentleman. He had an incisive and inquiring mind, but even more impressive was the modest and understated manner in which he encouraged generations of students, faculty, and staff. His work at the Waring Historical Library was a labor of love and has preserved many important documents, books and artifacts concerning the history of medicine in Charleston and South Carolina. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and benefitted from...

Curtis, Condolences to you on the loss of your father.

Dr. Worthington was respected as Vice-President of Academics Affairs at MUSC and as a renaissance man interested in History. His legacy will transcend him. RIP My sincere sympathy to his family.

We will all miss Curtis terribly. Every time I catch a crab in Manse creek or look out from the porch I think of him. A long and wonderful life.

Curtis, sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father.

Curtis...condolences to you and your family for the loss of your Father. Hoping remembrance of good times brings comfort and peace during this sad time.

I shall always remember Dr. Worthington as a gentlemen, scholar, teacher, mentor, and friend. So many interactions and conversation over many years from 1965 has sealed his memory into my conscience. May he rest in peace. Betty and I send our sincere condolences to his family.
