Officer Worthy was killed eight years before I came on the LRPD. I had been on the job about 8 years when I was in a restaurant in downtown LR talking with another Officer. The Officer I was talking to introduced me to a young man and said he was Officer Lloyd Worthy's son. We talked for a little while. I asked him what he remembered about his dad. He told me not much at all because he was an infant when his daddy was killed. My son at the time was just a little boy. I couldn't help but think how terrible it would be for your children not to know you, and for you to be taken from them when they were little. Officer Worthy, rest in peace my friend.
