Michael J Worth

We are so sad and utterly devastated to have to share the news that Michael J. Worth has passed away. We know there is a big community that shares our grief and we appreciate all your love. Michael is the beloved son of Richard H. Worth and the late Betty Sue Worth , devoted father of Jack and Gabriel, and loving brother of Julie Benn, Ellen Worth, Victoria Belous and Douglas Worth. He also leaves behind Lori Worth, Alyssa Frey, Marge Abel and his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends as he was a man who touched the lives of so many people in ways big and small. Having earned a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Long Island University, Mike’s career revolved around helping others, whether through the new-father support group he founded in Chatham, NJ, or in his position as a child psychologist at the Calhoun school in New York City. He served as a coach of both sons’ baseball teams for almost ten years, where his commitment to teamwork and unflagging good humor inspired countless young athletes. Mike was always ready to lend an ear or a helping hand; his absence leaves a palpable scar in the heart of our community. A scholarship fund in his name for the benefit of his children is currently being set up with details to follow and a memorial service will be held 1pm Sunday July, 7 at Bernheim Apter Kreitzman Suburban Funeral Chapel 68 Old Short Hills Rd, Livingston, NJ.
