In Memory of

Robert Craig 'Bob' Worrill

December 4, 1948 - July 23, 2013

Robert Craig Worrill born on Dec. 4, 1948 passed away unexpectedly on July 23, 2013 at his home in a suburb of San Antonio, Texas. 

He is survived by his wife Jean of the home and her 2 sons Russell and his family from San Antonio and Matthew Williams and his wife in Clemson, SC, his sister Paula Finch, her husband Carl and his nephew Chad and niece Holly from Lutz, Fl. He is also survived by his daughter Melissa Barnes and his grandsons Justin Thomas of Indianapolis and Austin Phillips who lives in Maine, two granddaughters Emily and Kelly Barnes who reside in Georgia. He also leaves wonderful family members of his late wife Caroline's family in Greenwood, SC, several cousins and longtime friends from Greenwood. He also leaves behind his best friend Neel Lyons of Georgia. He was preceded in death by his parents Cecil and Pauline Oglesby Worrill, former wife Carolyn Tolbert Worrill and his son Robert Craig, Jr. 

Bob was in Warehouse operations management for most of his working career and left many friends from each of his positions most of which were in Greenwood, SC. 

Bob was quick to laugh and truly never met a stranger. His best quote when meeting someone new was, "it was nice to meet you, I know the pleasure was all yours". He enjoyed dining out and always had servers laughing and he would be remembered the next time he came in for sure. 

Bob was always in search of the best BBQ and never let a chance go by while in Texas to tell everyone that until they visited the Carolinas they didn't know what real BBQ was all about. 

Bob was a 1966 graduate of North Fulton High School and received his BS from Lander University in Greenwood, SC. 

Bob served his country proudly during his two tours of duty in the Vietnam War and never passed anyone in uniform that did not receive a handshake and the words, "Thank you for your service". He believed in our Constitution and upheld our rights and freedoms and continued that support at every opportunity. This wonderful man of laughter, adventure and love for all will truly be missed by many. 

It was Bob's final wish to be cremated and to be scattered among the Great Smokey Mountains where if you ever visit you may just hear one of his favorite song by Vince Gill, Go Rest High on That Mountain, playing in the background. 

The family will receive friends on Friday, August 2, 2013 from 6:00 until 7:00 P.M. at Harley Funeral Home in Greenwood, SC with a Memorial Service beginning at 7:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, please make memorials to the Disabled American Veterans.
