Former editor of Mercury dies: Vale Norm Worth

From the Maitland Mercury report:
Mr Norm Worth – a former Maitland Mercury editor and veteran Hunter journalist – died suddenly yesterday in Tasmania.
“Norm came to Maitland on a one-year loan and stayed for the rest of his life,” long time friend and former Maitland Mercury general manager Dan Austin said yesterday.
Mr Worth eventually became editor of the Mercury and relief editor at papers in Cessnock, Singleton and Armidale.
Mr Worth was also involved in the Lions movement and was a loyal supporter of the Maitland RSL sub-branch.
