Worthington

My son Nathaniel delivered this eulogy to his grandfather at Peter Worthington's funeral in Toronto yesterday.

Below is the text of Danielle Crittenden Frum's beautiful tribute to her step-father, Peter Worthington.

I've had a somewhat different experience these past days driving the car of my late father-in-law, Peter Worthington.

I think this column, written last summer by Peter Worthington, summarizes so much of my late father-in-law's approach to life.

This story of Peter Worthington's surfaced in my memory this morning, I first heard it years ago.

Every day in her cozy sitting-room Mrs. Worthington talked with her little girls, Bessie and Louise.

As the daily teaching continued, Mrs. Worthington taught her children many helpful lessons.

One morning Mr. Worthington noticed his little daughters standing in front of the house.

Mr. Worthington could not take the resigned view of their circumstances that his wife took, but often gave way to complaining.

In regard to her children, Mrs. Worthington had passed through a deep consecration.
