In Memoriam: Hall of Honor Member Robert Kenworthy
Updated
Delone Catholic High School mourns the passing of Robert B. Kenworthy '54, P'80, P'82, P'83, P'88, a member of the Delone Catholic High School Hall of Honor Class of 2021.
Robert B. Kenworthy '54 was a three-year sports editor of Delonews, the junior class, and student council president, and the member of his class voted most likely to succeed. These three data points proved to be prophetic for Bob Kenworthy’s life.
He went on to study at Gettysburg College and never left, serving as the college’s first Sports Information Director for 40 years until his retirement in 1999. He was an award-winning trailblazer in that field, and has community service awards named for him by both the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Association Sports Information Directors Association (ECAC-SIDA) and the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). He has been inducted into at least four halls of fame, including CoSIDA and the South Central Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.
Aside from his professional accomplishments, Mr. Kenworthy has lived a life of service and leadership at Gettysburg College, St. Francis Xavier Church in Gettysburg, and Delone Catholic High School. He was a member of the Delone Catholic Board of Directors and served as campaign chair for Delone’s Diamond Decade Initiative Phase I. His four children and his grandson are all Delone Catholic alumni.
