Worth saw Delta grow from a regional carrier into a global airline. Through the many roles in his career, he was able to lead Delta employees to help make the airline a leader in the industry. He had a deep respect for the Delta people and often referred to working with them as a privilege and an honor.
Throughout his career, Worth was able to collect many items that represent his time at Delta and the partnerships he helped forge for the company.
Many thanks to his son Michael Worth for donating Maurice's collection to the Delta Flight Museum in his memory.
