Oldest living Vol letterman, Jim Worthington, passes away

[Savannahbayvol]

lettered in baseball but I put in the football forum because of his relationship with the General.

Baylor had some great teams in the 60s under Coach Worthington. I know I played against them in Junior high!

Played a big part in the Chattanooga community. Tennessee sports was one of the early steps along the way to a long successful life of service and family. Big loss because of the impact he had.

Thanks for sharing!

I knew of some Worthingtons just up the valley in the Pikeville area. I wonder if they were kin.

I dont know, Hank Bertlekamp was third when he passed away last week.

I imagine Mr Haslam is pretty high in the ranking.
