Tom graduated from Georgia Tech University in 1957 and served in the United States Army from 1957 – 1963. He retired from Norfolk Southern Railways in 1995 after 30 years of service.
Tom was a very talented woodworker and carver. He took immaculate care of his 1956 Ford (Gus) which was his pride and joy. He was the best husband, father, friend, and the kindest, and most generous man.
Tom could fix anything. He was dearly loved beyond words and was a true gentleman. He loved Jesus with all his heart, and he will surely welcome us with a beautiful smile when we see him in heaven one day.
In lieu of flowers donations to the Calvary Children's Home - calvarykids.org would be appreciated.

Tom was the epitome of a true Southern gentleman. A Godly Christian man with a kind and gentle spirit. Loved to all who knew him.
To Judy and the entire Worthington Family! I share your loss and you have my deepest sympathy. Mr. Worthington was a gentleman and was a very, very kink and loving person to work for. I still adore the little Bear that he carved for me and what a blessing to listen to the rocking horse he gave me one Christmas . God has fixed it so we can carry the wonderful memories of our love ones in our hearts forever! Blessings to you Judy and your family. Patsy R. Weddington
Tom was a true southern gentlemen and scholar. He was so caring to all us young Management Trainees and Co-op Students. His demeanor was always calm and understanding. I don’t believe he was aware of the respect we held him in and has become another passenger of the “Innumerable Caravan”, or obit section of the old Southern Railway Company magazine. My friend, you will be missed!
