WORRELL	David	Ammen;		RADFORD – David Ammen Worrell, age 77, of Radford died Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2005 in Carilion New River Medical Center. City councilman and Vice Mayor David Worrell truly believed he could make a difference. He devoted his non-working hours and life to serving the people of Radford in any way he could find to be involved. A life-long resident of Radford, Worrell graduated from the old high school, then attended Concord College and Radford College, now Radford University. He came by his devotion to public service naturally: his father, the late G. W. Worrell, was editor and publisher of the Radford Record newspaper. He was often called “Chief”, an honorary title from his 22 years of service with the Radford Volunteer Fire Department and the Rescue Squad. He served from 1974 to 1980 as a member of the Radford School Board, and began his work as a city councilman in 1982. Except for a two year absence, after running for and losing the mayoral race in 1990, Worrell has continued his council position, this term being elected by the panel as Vice Mayor. Though he was regularly on the short end of 4-1 council votes on many issues. Worrell felt strongly about representing the people he felt were not being heard in the community, with special emphasis on those living in the West End of the city. He pioneered a series of community input sessions at various locations throughout the area, listening to complaints, needs and requests from anyone who wanted to have a say. And he followed-up by trying to get answers or action for “his people.” His 1992 campaign to regain his council seat proclaimed that he was “willing to work, and most of all, ready to listen!” Among his battles was strong opposition to a non-annexation agreement with Montgomery County for cooperative development along Virginia route 177, and later to the planned move of Radford’s hospital from the city to county land across I-81, outside the city. It is ironic that he died in the care of that new hospital, though his initial trip to the hospital was at Radford Community on Friday, Jan. 29th. He felt ill, but the findings were serious-a burst colon. He remained in critical care (CCU) for much of the time, and was moved with all the other patients on Mar. 20 to the new Carilion facility while still in CCU care. He had recently been moved into a surgical care room, happy to be getting stronger. Even while in the CCU, hooked up to machines and tubes, he scribbled a note to his wife, Lois, that read “get me out of here.” Being inactive was unnatural for Worrell. Among Worrell’s other community activities: president of Belle Heth PTA for two years; Fairview Home Board of Directors; Radford Parks and Recreation Commission and the city Planning Commission; member of the Virginia May Lodge AF-AM, Roanoke Scottish Rite and Shriner, and a proud member and past president of the Radford Rotary Club. He was honored with a Paul Harris Fellowship in Rotary this month. He also served as president of the Area Merchants and Professional Association, and was a Little League Basketball coach at one time in his life. He worked in recent years as a sales associate for Taylor Office Supply in Radford. He was active as a deacon, former elder and Sunday school superintendent at Radford Christian Church. Surviving are his wife Lois K.
