Worth was a director and shareholder at Carruthers & Roth and a consummate professional who had built a highly successful commercial real estate practice. He was as comfortable working with large developers on multimillion dollar land deals as he was working with small business owners negotiating new office space. He also never met a stranger.

He was admitted to the North Carolina Bar in 1974 and to the U.S. Supreme Court Bar in 1980. He was a member of the Greensboro Bar Association, North Carolina Bar Association and the American Bar Association. He also was Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent™ Peer Review Rated – a testament to his high ethical standards and professional ability.

Worth also was involved in a wide range of professional, civic and charitable organizations. He was a member of the Triad Real Estate and Building Industry Coalition, a board member and past chair of the Guilford Merchant’s Association, and a board member and past chair of FirstPoint Inc. He previously served on the Greensboro War Memorial Coliseum Commission, Central YMCA Board of Management, Greensboro Transit Authority Board of Directors, and Greensboro Zoning Commission, which he served as vice chair.

Worth devoted his time and talents to his beloved alma mater by serving on both the UNC-CH Board of Visitors and the UNC-CH Parents Council. Worth was actively involved in the Greensboro Sports Council and recently served as chair of the 2014 Haeco Invitational Tournament. He also participated in Operation Smile Carolinas. He was a member of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, where he has served as a chalice bearer, lay reader and usher.

Worth enjoyed his time traveling with his family and playing golf with his many close friends.

He is survived by his wife, Kim, and children, Caroline Fonde, husband Tripp and granddaughter Charlotte Ann of Mobile, Alabama; Worth of Durham and Elliott of Greensboro. Also surviving is his brother, Tim Holleman, wife Ann and nieces Christy and Anna.
